HOUSTON/WASHINGTON–Tributes to former President George H.W. Bush, who died at the age of 94, poured in from around the world as global leaders honored him for his role in helping to end the Cold War and reduce the threat of nuclear annihilation.
Bush, the 41st president who served from 1989 to 1993, also routed Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi army in the 1991 Gulf War, but lost his chance for a second term in the White House partly because of breaking a “no new taxes” campaign pledge.
