The bubble that burst was the stock market; how that would have affected the economy had Clinton had another four years is very debatable. I continue to be struck by Rubin's deft hand.

As for the "peaceful line," the Clinton folk were able to address Bosnia and Kosovo with a reluctant Europe, without doing a Bush II of arrogance. Take a look at Halberstam's book, at Clark's book, etc.

As for Reagan, you and I will just have to note that we disagree there. My evaluation of the Reagan presidency is extremely negative but a discussion of it right now would not get either of us anywhere.

As for your genocide comment, are you arguing that Bush II would have handled Bosnia and Kosovo in some different manner? Better? As for Rwanda, everyone that I've seen write about it from the Clinton administration regrets that. But surely you would not wish to argue that Bush II would have done something different. Hard to find evidence for that.
