None of the 4 candidates is the messiah. In fact, if Janet Reno were not a holographic projection of a humanoid, but were in fact real and had an independent brain, there is a distinct possibility that good 'ol Al could be banging out license plates for those darn internal combustion engine driven vehicles he so despises. To me, that is kinda amazing. How about Somalia? We had Americans die there needlessly. My recollection is that the armed support that our soldiers requested was denied by Clinton himself. Why? Because of the cozy global village, peacekeeping mission, feeding the hungry, blah blah blah. Next frame, widows, children without fathers. Flash forward....Yemen and more deaths..widows, more fatherless children. The Clinton Gore administration is like the iceberg that sunk the Titanic. So much was under the surface. The military used to exist to protect the US in time of war. People who enlisted could understand and of course, agree with that concept. Now, you could be enlisted and learn that there is a civil war Butthairland. One side is being awfully mean to the other side. The US cares because we have several corporations that have cut deals with General Firefly to mine in a province that is about to fall under rebel control. We send soldiers to act as observers, peacekeepers and they are instructed not carry their weapons loaded, since we have to be friends with whoever wins the civil conflict. If what I have just typed were not so true, it would be absurd. The scary thing is...that it is true.
