One of the things I most admire about Ed is how he stayed principled when George Bush I got the U.S. into the first Gulf war. At the time, one major contributor to Cato withdrew his funding and, possibly, persuaded others to do so also, but Ed stayed strong and just worked that much harder to raise funds to fill the gap.
