That is a very biased and subjective analysis. I think that leaders have far less impact on the economy than they get credit for, both good and bad. Each one is faced with the legacy of the last. Clinton enjoyed the stock market bubble which simply had to come to an end because it was built on nothing. Clinton could have had Bin Laudin for the asking, Likewise Saddam should have been taken out by Bush senior when he had him at his mercy. Only a totally partisan view of politics ignores these factors. You don't like Bush, don't vote for him. You don't like democracy, what's the alternative? The American democratic system elected G.B. and a Repub majority in the House and Senate, it should come as no surprise that you have tax cuts and lower levels of Government intrusion. Here in Canada we pay much higher taxes and billions are wasted on frivolous and unnecessary programs that are funneled to the friends of the ruling party. I don't like it, didn't vote for them, but what are you gonna do?

As far as encouraging terrorism, I think it was Chamberlain who encouraged Hitler by doing nothing. I think it's just as valid to say that Clinton encouraged 911 by not dealing with B.L. on his watch.

As I type Bob Geldoff is on the news praising the U.S. 15 Billion contribution to AIDS. What did the Clinton admin contribute to this problem when they had the chance?
