BBC ON THIS DAY | 30 | 1991: Bush opens historic Mid East peace conference

1991: Bush opens historic Mid East peace conference

US President George Bush has encouraged Arabs and Israelis to "lay down the past" in his opening speech to the Middle East peace conference in Spain.

It is the first time in 43 years that Israel has sat down with all its Arab neighbours to discuss peace.

"Territorial compromise is essential for peace," said President Bush.

Then this:

The Perfect Storm

An enormous extratropical low is creating havoc along the entire Eastern Atlantic Seaboard in this infrared image at 1200 UTC (0700 EST) on October 30, 1991.

20-foot waves hit Bush's home

President Bush will interrupt a trip to the West this weekend to travel to his storm-ravaged vacation home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

"It's not good news," Bush told reporters Thursday. Bush's seaside home on Walker's Point suffered severe damage from waves at least 20 feet high that knocked out windows, Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater said.

The first floor was virtually gutted, according to one White House source who said that water had covered the entire Bush property with his house sticking up like an island.

Comment:

So while Bush Sr. is announcing his glorious effort to divide Israel and bring peace, peace to the Middle East, his house is being suddenly destroyed. How very coincidental and Biblical. You just have to appreciate the irony of it.
