Former President George Bush Sr. got into a verbal confrontation with a student audience in Abu Dhabi Tuesday after several people criticized his son’s policies. One audience member told the elder Bush she did not respect the president and what he’s doing in the world. The Associated Press reports Bush appeared stunned when most of the audience applauded in approval. Another questioner said U.S. wars were waged to open markets for American corporations. Bush Sr. replied, “I think that’s weird and it’s nuts. To suggest that everything we do is because we’re hungry for money, I think that’s crazy.”
