Of course, that's hyperbole beyond excessive, Paul.


The hyperbole was simply a match to the hyperbole of your post. The solution is to avoid the Clinton is morally superior to Bush line of argument altogether.


do I intend to quit posting compliments about the previous administration when I think the conversation calls for it.


There is much about Clinton's record which is admirable. For all the screaming from the Bush folk, they are now scrambling to try and extend the Clinton North Korea policy. The policy may suck but it's the only game in town.


But I will not post them to you. To repeat, best not post your negative stuff to me.


The only time I ever mention Clinton is when the moral comparisson is made. If you make that comparisson, I will refute it. If you want to discuss the relative merits of policies and approaches, great. If you want to posit that Clinton was one of the best president ever, great. I don't even object to Clinton being put forward as an example of a great moral leader. We all have opinions. However, if you use Clinton to attempt to slam the moral character of people who support the war, I will object.

Paul
