You.. you have to be the most ill informed free market supporter on Earth. During the Clinton Error, we watched as Wall Street hedge funds short sold the Asian currencies into the dirt (1997); the Russian Ruble (1998) and the South American currencies (1998). In each regional currency crisis, hundreds of thousands of people lost their livelihoods, tens of thousands went starving, tens of thousands became embroiled in domestic despair, many committing murder, suicide, etc.. I can assure you that the foreign casualties resulting from the Clinton Error far exceed current casualties in Iraq. It was economic war conducted for the purposes of forcing capital flight from those countries into USA markets, Americans pigged at the trough as their various financial sectors became bubbles, with foreign flight money acting as a primary propellant, in addition to the propellants of commodity carry trades created by key Wall Street hedge funds. The prosperity of the Clinton Error was created upon the misery of countless foreigners. And each and every foreign currency crisis was no accident. It was contrived by the Fed, executed by its obedient hedge fund soldiers, and applauded by the subsidiary USA Big Media organs. The awful foreign economic conditions created during the Clinton Error sowed the amazing foreign hostility toward America today. Thank Mr. Clinton, acting as proxy for his buddies at the Fed, for generating more anti-American ill will than during any other presidency in USA history. But hell, at least lots of Gen X, Gen Y kids made a fortune creating BS internet ventures providing zero benefits to the country. You sound like you subscribe to that same self- serving, self-effacing philosophy that says if you don't get caught its OK. That Sir, is total BS. You can be a capitalist and still have an abiding respect for your fellow man.
