I disagree... if Bush is having this difficult of a time to justify this campaign to a "post-9/11" audience, imagine what a time Clinton would've had in '98. Oh, we disagree majorly. Clinton could have easily justified his actions. Much more easily than Bush can today. There was the Lewinsky problem, which may have caused some trouble -- but there would have been no Republican argument at all, and as far as I can tell, the Democrats never met a war they didn't like when Clinton was in office. The fact is Clinton would NEVER have had the stones to undertake something like Bush is doing now. But had he done it, it would have received worldwide support. At the time, the justification was self-evident. Today, you have a lot of people--liberals, mostly, but a few conservatives--who think, "well, he hasn't acted up in a while, we ought to just wait and see". This is kind of the Carl Levin approach.
