Maybe Clinton should have used those powers of persuasion you find to be so advantageous to dissuade bin Laden from bombing the WTC in '93, then Khobar Towers, the African Embassies, the USS Cole, and the WTC again in '01.

Or, to persuade Koresh to come out with his hands up, which would have prevented the OK City bombing.

Or, to persuade Arafat to forge a lasting peace instead of flashing for the cameras, winning a peace prize, then continuing his murderous ways.

Of course, Clinton also had trouble persuading the American voters in '94 to support his policies, so they elected a Republican House, and more recently Senate.

He might have even prevented the stock market bubble and subsequent bursting by persuading people that his own Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's "irrational exuberance" message ought to be listened to.

Charming and likeable, perhaps, but not really persuasive on the important stuff.
