No, but how many innocent children have died there? And Albright thinks that is diplomacy.

I hate to break it to you, but I have plenty of ability to reason. Answer me this regarding your disappointment with George Bush Sr's mistake.

At the time of the Persian Gulf war, did you feel he should have kept going into Baghdad and finished the job?

I thought that stopping when they did was the correct and humane thing to do at the time, and supported it. In hindsight it was the wrong move, but it's easy to point out other's mistakes from the past. I am sure your hawkish position was to level Baghdad and kill Saddam, right?

I will tell you that I was pissed when we stopped doing the inspections. Not sure how you feel that not inspecting Iraq's ability to produce weapons of mass destruction is not a bad thing.

See the difference in how our logic works. I supported George, even though it was a mistake in hindsight. You claim that Clinton kept him in check (when he didn't).

Also - you count a strategic mistake the same as serious character flaws. They are completely different imo. George Bush is war hero and a great man. Clinton is a confessed perjurer who is disbarred and can never argue a case in front of our highest court. Unless his weasely lawyer Kendall can convince the 9 of them that it is ok to lie to a judge to save your ass.
