I have another question. As a non-American old enough to remember 9/11, the press in my country portrayed him at that time as a true leader for the city and its people. The next thing I heard from him was that weird press conference with the hair dye and all.

The question is, was his role during 9/11 really positive and time went crazy , or was it always like this and the press lied/got wrong about the situation?

Mr Giuliani found himself in a stressful spot on 9/11 day, and he didn't mess it up. It erased a lot of negative sentiment he'd built up over the years through bad decisions and such.

And then he went back to bad decisions and then past even that. But for one day he did everything competently, and it was necessary.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess that day was such a crazy situation that he didn't have time to think about how to ruin it.

That was hair dye? I thought that was just the evil leaking out.
