margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">甚至1989年6月4日天安门事件时，老布什也都对镇压采取宽松的看法。原先美国众议院压倒性通过对中国制裁案，最后没有实现外，邓小平更批评老布什的特使，称中国的内政绝不允许任何人加以干涉。后来许多分析批评，老布什的对华政策太过软弱。</p><p style="border: 0px;

padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">当时派驻在堪萨斯市的沈吕巡，因为刘锴的弟弟居住在那，有机会一睹该信内容。“写满了两张信纸，内容是给刘锴的儿子，上面手写着，我对您父亲相当敬佩，回忆他们交友的历程”，沈吕巡说。</p><p style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-variant-numeric: inherit;

background-color: #ffffff;">身为波湾战争的盟军最高统帅，仍找时间抽空写信给老友，让人看见老布什念旧的一面。沈吕巡提到，晚年老布什退休后，辗转从其他议员身上知道沈吕巡身上有给刘锴悼念信的复本，还想拷贝一份，因为当年老布什忙于公务，竟一时忘记留底。</p><figure style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-variant-numeric: inherit;

margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">老布什在担任总统期间，正逢东西方冷战的结束，他用温和的外交手腕来处理对苏联与中国的关系，但同时也在中东伊拉克进行波湾战争。而对于台湾，老布什不仅在总统任内支持台湾加入GATT（WTO世界贸易组织前身），1992年时他也批准了150架F-16飞机的军售案。</p><p style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, STHeiti, 华文黑体, "Microsoft YaHei", 微软雅黑, SimSun, 宋体, "WenQuanYi Micro Hei", sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">令狐荣达说，70、80年代，中华民国空军是倚赖F-5战斗机来维持制空权。但是在进入90年代后，中国大陆的对台空中与海上的军事威胁增大，因此老布什批准的这项军售案，具有相当关键的意义。</p><p style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, STHeiti, 华文黑体, "Microsoft YaHei", 微软雅黑, SimSun, 宋体, "WenQuanYi Micro Hei", sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">不过这次的军售，当时在美国也引发讨论。林郁方说，当时老布什正逢连任总统的竞选期，他的故乡德州也有通用电气等生产航天用品的大工厂。为了德州大量的选举人票，老布什还是某种程度给了家乡一点甜头，批准对台军售，被部分人士攻击是为了选举的政策性军售。</p><p style="border: 0px;

margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">当时派驻在洛杉矶的令狐荣达说，当年除了台湾需要，老布什某种程度也想透过军售来刺激国防工业跟提振选举士气。老布什的任内，美国失业率一度逼近8%，比里根时代还差，也让很多美国选民，对于执政12年的共和党产生不满。</p><p style="border: 0px;

margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">时任堪萨斯市处长的沈吕巡，回忆起这段依旧表示：“这真的争取很久，我们讲了很久，这批战机在圣路易制造，最后由老布什在德州宣布”。至今，这批F-16战斗机持续负担台湾空军的主要战力。</p><p style="border: 0px;

margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">虽然对台军售友善，但令狐荣达则补充，老布什一直以来还是遵守“一个中国”原则，因为他在中国大陆有着更多朋友，“但他就是相对稳健，一定有跟陆方沟通，不会闹大事情，做事比较鸭子划水”。</p><figure style="border: 0px;

margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">然而，老布什的共和党，依旧无法让选民信任，1992年底选战由民主党的克林顿获胜，让他就此结束政治生涯。不过1993年1月底卸任的老布什，即在同年11月底来台访问。台湾外交部在给老布什的悼词中，称这次访问是“展现对台湾的坚定支持”。</p><p style="border: 0px;

margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">沈吕巡依旧记得，当时前总统李登辉，曾跟他一起打高尔夫球，期间不只谈得相当愉快，两边还对赌几块美金，看看谁打的手气好。</p><p style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-variant-numeric: inherit;

background-color: #ffffff;">林郁方说，比起很多美国卸任元首拖了很久才来、或是根本不来台湾，老布什的速度是相对很快的。但老布什当时毕竟是卸任总统、回归平民没有政治实权，只是在台湾被孤立的情形下，这样的大人物来访，确实让台湾政府会比较兴奋。</p><p style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-variant-numeric: inherit;

background-color: #ffffff;">随着老布什的过世，各家国外媒体细数他的人生经历之余，也不由得会跟人在阿根廷的特朗普作点比较。对于同是共和党人的两位总统，沈吕巡叹气说：“这两人是天差地别了，特朗普对朋友会这样（重情义）吗？”，经历过二战的老布什，对朋友的情义与尊重专业的形象，沈吕巡反倒认为跟日前逝世的马侃较为类似。</p><p style="border: 0px; color: #404040;

padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">林郁方则说，老布什是温和、冷静、重视专业还有团队合作，跟特朗普冲动性格是截然不同。也多亏当年他的性格，某种程度在1990年代调停了不少东西冷战下可能发生的更大冲突。“就算攻打伊拉克，老布什也没有指示占领伊拉克，反而是儿子小布什，则是在中东政策上冲动地多”，林郁方说。</p><p style="border: 0px;

margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff;">而这位昔日关怀台湾的亲密战友，也难敌岁月撒手人寰，沈吕巡感叹：“美国政治人物看过不下千个了，像老布什这样的，真的不多”。而这样的情义，是否也是当年中美台三方角力下，老布什细读两岸局势下的表态，在如今更讲求现实主义的国际社会，老布什一生，同时也反应他在两岸议题上，谋定而后动的外交老手一面。</p>
