Hi KLP; Doesn't make me weep. I think Clinton is an idiot too. What's worse, Clinton is highly immoral, while Bush is a decent man, in my opinion. No, it's not Clinton that saddens me, it's Bush. I voted for him. By the way, it's amusing that the situation is so lousy for a Bush supporter that you're reduced to quoting a man who had his pipe threaded by Monica Lewinsky right there in the Oval Office. Look at 9/11. The terrorists started planning that little operation back on Clinton's watch. Go look at Clinton's actions. He supported the Israelis just as much as Bush. It takes a world class moron to believe that it is possible to be the big ally of Israel, to be the country that provides them with huge amounts of cash and free weapons, but without eventually having to suffer the terrorism problem that Israel suffers. And it takes a world class moron to believe that terrorism can be defeated by emulating Israel's foreign policy. I include both Clinton and Bush (and Blair) as world class morons. The basic fact is that if you supply guns to one side in a fight, the other side will eventually start shooting at you. And the Israelis have been shot at for 50 years, so the US terrorism problem ain't going away any time soon. That Bush has a "secret plan" to combat terrorism is a joke. The US has done nothing for 20 years but dig itself deeper into the Israeli tar pit. What's funnier is that other countries are willing to jump into the pit. Australia, for instance. All their guff about supporting the attack on Iraq got 200 people killed in Bali, many of them Australian. What were they thinking? That Israel's problems were going to stay in Israel? Maybe I'm different. Whenever I've been in a bar and a fight started up between people I didn't know, I've never had the slightest urge to get involved. At most, I just watch, and make sure that if they get out of hand I won't get involved. -- Carl
