Clinton made some bad mistakes, imo. Failure to act in Rwanda in a timely way being the most costly in terms of human life -- cowardice, the Somalia Syndrome, etc. He showed some courage on Haiti. In the ME, it can be argued that his headlong rush to get a settlement that would eclipse the Lewinsky business created a situation that led to the current nightmare. The Israelis and Palestinians were muddling along vaguely in the right direction, it looked like, until he intervened. Maybe that's unfair, but it seems that way. The brief against Clinton presented by Christopher Hitchens in his short book on Clinton's presidency, which is admittedly painted all in dark shades, is pretty difficult to refute. I wondered if it was partly feeling bullet proof, and partly liking the danger the bullets represented. The second implies that he knew he wasn't proof, but liked the adrenaline. Addictive, I guess. I am turning this darn thing off now. IamIamIam. Bye for now.
