Mary, This is not rocket science. Second-guessing usually isn't. The point is that it's futile to ask, "What Would Clinton Do," because the truth is that Clinton never had a magic formula for anything except smooth talk. And diplomacy can only get you so far. I would have stimulated the economy by giving tax cuts to those that needed it most. They would have spent the money immediately and boosted the economy. Given that the rich pay most of the taxes anyway, cutting taxes only for the lower income brackets would have sharpened the progressive tax curve. The rich will continue to dodge taxes using their shelters, and we'll still be left with a deficit. Instead of spending the money on Iraq, I would have spent it on homeland security. I would have spent some of it making sure our airports and seaports were safe. Don't forget our borders. But even then, there will still be many terrorists not on "watch lists" who will slip through the walls of Fortress America. So Bush and his fellow "neocons" decide not to stop with Afghanistan. A bull in a china shop, or a "super nanny" going in to clean house? Hard to see the Middle East as a "china shop" to begin with. Tenchusatsu
