Maybe he listened too hard to Shortie from Iran, and Loopie from Venzeuela. I am not sure if I understand what you mean. What time frame were you refering to? For your info, when Clinton was president right up to 2000, Ahmedinejad (your "shortie" guy) was nowhere in the political firmament of Iran. He only became president of Iran in 2005. As for Chavez (your "loopie" guy), he first became president of Venezuela in 1998 and he was then very much a rookie politician. How these guys could have influenced Clinton immeasurably is beyond me. .

"Nothing Clinton does is by accident." Well. Technically Clinton was an accident since his father (A traveling salesman) was not inclined to marry his mother. Bill and accidents (joke): Bill Clinton is visiting a school. In one class, he asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers that, "If my best friend who lives next door is playing in the street when a car came by and killed him, that would be a tragedy." "No," Clinton says, "That would be an ACCIDENT." A girl raises her hand. "If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a cliff, killing everyone inside...that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explains Clinton. "That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS." The room is silent; none of the other children dare volunteer. "What?" asks Clinton, "Isn't there anyone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally a boy in the back raises his hand. In a timid voice, he says: "If an airplane carrying Bill and Hillary Clinton was blown up by a bomb, that would be a tragedy." "Wonderful!" Clinton beams. "Marvelous! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it certainly would be no great loss!"
