Many, many people, including me, critiqued Clinton's weak, reactive and ad-hoc foreign policy at the time. Basically, Clinton sunk all his eggs in the Mideast Peace Process basket, which turned out a fiasco. In every other case, he reacted, usually to pictures on CNN. Remember, OBL started his war on America in Clinton's watch, and Saddam successfully drove the UN inspectors out of Iraq on Clinton's watch. And what was Clinton's response? A few cruise missiles, then nothing. OBL learned that America was too soft to mount a sustained response even to direct blows.

That was what brought us September 11 - whose planning began in 1996, also on Clinton's watch.
