Frank, it's true that Clinton sidestepped the issue on the assumption that supporting Kyoto would be very controversial and would lose votes or political support for other policies that had a greater priority for him. He supported the idea in principle but preferred to let someone else take the heat for (or against) it. I'm not saying Clinton's approach was better than Bush's. But when a policy issue comes up for review, nothing constructive is accomplished without looking for alternatives. Merely saying it's no good, without suggesting something better or more preferable, or without explaining why doing nothing might be better, is not only unhelpful, it's stupid. Art
