Had Clinton made a speech announcing he was switching to a war paradigm with terrorists, he would have been thought nuts. If Clinton merely attempted to accomplish that which he promised in his speeches about bringing those responsible for attacks against Americans to justice, I would not think he is nuts.

Had Clinton made a speech announcing he was switching to a war paradigm with terrorists, he would have been thought nuts. As econopundit put it: The "law enforcement" approach to terrorism, in other words, boils down to a simple, unappetizing truth: you can't enforce a law until someone breaks it. I think history will not be kind to Clinton's FP. TWT. Personally, I thinked he "minced" into every serious overseas problem. He dithered about too much and nuanced everything to death. The Balkans should have been either stayed out of or done with much faster. Again, TWT if history agrees with me. Sandy Berger is doing his best to rehab himself, contemparary accounts show the political domestic outcome was always number one with him. But he was listening to his masters voice. Clinton did a magnificent job with NAFTA and signing welfare reform. Bush could never has got NAFTA done.
