In this episode we take you through the tension building period in late October and Early November of 1990. You will listen in to news reports from ABC News and the News from New Zealand as the Middle East moves closer to War. We will also listen to letters from George H. W. Bush to King Hussein, his staff and to common everyday people. In them Bush tries to reassure them all that he wants to resolve the situation peacefully if at all possible.
But if we have to go to war he feels strongly that it will not be another Vietnam.
