Bill Clinton: Iraq Changes Good for Region By JAN M. OLSEN Associated Press Writer COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- Former President Clinton said Wednesday the political changes in Iraq, including parliamentary elections in January, will help bring stability to the region. Clinton met with Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and a number of Danish lawmakers during his visit. The former president spoke with reporters before flying to Jordan for a poverty conference. "The Sunnis and the Shiites, the Kurds and all the various tribes can work out accommodations that will allow them to build a stable society, I think that will be good for Iraq and good for the Middle East," Clinton said at the end of a two-day visit to Denmark. In January, Iraq held the its first democratic parliamentary elections to choose a 275-member National Assembly and provincial legislatures. "There is no point living in the past," Clinton said. "Look at where we are now. Everyone, all freedom-loving people would be better off with a genuinely representative, effective, free government in Iraq whatever your feelings are about what went on before."

Simplistic right wing radio like Hannity ignores the FACT that at least 70 of Clinton's nominees were denied an up or down vote by republican tricks and bottling up things in committee. Democrats have only denied an up or down vote on the 10 most extreme right wing activist judges nominated by Bush. Bush has the highest percentage of judges that he nominated being approved in the last 30 years, something like 96%. Nobody likes a bully, and that is exactly what the hard right has become in this country. You may hope that Frist pulls the trigger, well if he does the gun may blow up in his hand.
