Quote:
"Gov. Bush said Powell and the President called him last week and asked
him to join the delegation because of his expertise in dealing with
disasters - three hurricanes last year - and his family ties.
"I think that family matters in a lot of places,." Gov. Bush said. He
recalled that in 1988, his father, the first President Bush, asked him
and his son, George P. Bush, to go to Armenia after a massive
earthquake there on Christmas Eve.
"It made a big difference the fact that a family member would go to a
far off place," Jeb Bush said. He recalled "hardened Communists crying"
in the then-Soviet republic as they watched his son hand out toys to
children who had survived the disaster."
