I feel the reason Carter has such a troubled Presidency is he more than almost any other president tried to fight the external and internal forces which consume all Presidents after that assume the office.

Clinton speaks in Regina Article Tools Printer friendly E-mail Font: * * * * Veronica Rhodes, Saskatchewan News Network; Regina Leader-Post Published: Friday, March 10, 2006 REGINA -- Ordinary citizens have the ability to make a difference globally -- and not just when a disaster strikes, says former U.S. president Bill Clinton. "If you gave any money to the tsunami (relief effort), you were being a global citizen building an interdependent world. . . . As a citizen, you have more power to do that than ever before," Clinton told a full house at Regina's Conexus Arts Centre on Thursday afternoon. "It all rests on this one simple idea: Can you accept the fact that our differences matter? They're important, debate about what is true is important, but we will never have the truth in this lifetime and therefore all we have is our common humanity." Clinton's 40-minute address touched on a number of topics, including Canada-U.S. relations, the positives and negatives of global interdependency, nuclear energy and his personal relationship with former U.S. president George Bush Sr. At the beginning of his address, Clinton noted he visited Canada more than any other U.S. president in office. He told the crowd that when people in African countries meet on mountain pathways and say, "Hello, how are you?" the response translated to English is, "I see you." "You think about it, it confers dignity. Think about all the people you never see. . . . I'm convinced if we truly see each other the way we now only do in a moment of common understanding over heartbreak, if we could do that on a daily basis, the 21st century will be far more peaceful and prosperous than the last one was and young people will grow up in the most exciting time in human history," he said. Following the address, Clinton took part in a question-and-answer period with Don Black, deputy chair and CEO of Greystone Managed Investments Inc., an event sponsor. In discussing American sentiment toward building nuclear energy facilities, Clinton said he expects more nuclear plants will be built in the future around the world. He touched on the possibilities of further developing wind power, solar energy and clean coal technology, as well as safe disposal for nuclear waste or methods to burn it up for energy. "What we want to look forward to is building a future where we can use all these things in their most efficient way," he said. In his last question to Clinton, Black asked about his friendship with Bush Sr., whom Clinton beat to win his first term in office in 1992. Black compared the former presidents' relationship to that of former prime ministers Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien, if they ever became friends. "Somehow we find that doubtful other than they might attend each other's funeral but only then just to make sure the other was truly gone," quipped Black. Clinton threw his head back in amusement while the audience laughed loudly and applauded. Clinton said when he was governor of Arkansas, he had a good relationship with then-president Bush, which became difficult after the 1992 election. While he respected Bush, Clinton said he was in "profound disagreement" with Bush's policies and the direction the country was headed. In speaking of his admiration for Bush, Clinton explained that politicians are too often demonized, when many are hard-working people trying to do what they believe is right. "We don't need to demonize our opponents to differ with them and it obscures the differences, undermines debate and keeps us from making progress," he said. Clinton left the stage waving and giving a thumbs-up to the crowd as he was given a standing ovation. (REGINA LEADER-POST) © The StarPhoenix (Saskatoon) 2006 canada.com
