BSG, >>He is just a big suck-up to the Wall Street money machine<< For both of Clinton's terms the country's primary goal has been to maximize the wealth that Wall St could pillage from middle class America. (knowingly or not) The second goal has been to protect those same interests from their investment debacles in foreign countries by imposing conditions on debtor countries (via the IMF) that devastated the local economies and prompted suicides, riots, and worse. Then they used our tax dollars to make good on the debts by funding the IMF. Lastly, they freed large US corporations to buy foreign assets at depressed prices inside the the economies they helped devastate. Of course there was a lot of corruption in the foreign countries too. Many of those countries were going to blow up anyway, but it was recklessness that contributed to it and the whole thing was worked out to protect US interests and screw the debtors. I have to disagree with the original poster that said someone MIGHT start calling us the "evil empire". WE ARE the "evil empire"...at least for the last 8 years since Wall St started running the place. Wayne
