I can see why people liked him back in the day given we had 9/11 and people were rightfully furious about it but it is obvious today that he was a war hawk.

Even still, I'm sure this is tragic for his family so I hope they find peace.

Cheney had 70% approval rating just after attacks on WTC.

[Snakeyes7]

I do not really feel much.

He was pretty old. Old people die.

He is actually the only former president/vicepresident who died in XXI century before his 90th birthday.
