Don: I don't think the late 1990s were such a great time..and I am no apologist for Clinton. He is a man with significant faults, personal and professional.

Nor do I think the current President is a bad man.

But the way Clinton dealt with international issues, from kosovo to Olso...seems to me a studied approach to a complicated world. I prefer it to the current Administration's philosophy.

And, I would even more readily accept the current administration's philosophy if its execution was anything but simply terrible! Terrible. From initial interpretation of intelligence to numerous decisions on reconstruction, to the daily problems now developing in Afghanistan (due in part because of the Iraq misadventure), and the domestic agenda as well (spend, spend, spend) this administration has bungled everything either handed to it or over which it had broad control....

And that bungling will be why the next President, whomever it may be, will seem like a breath of fresh air to most Americans. The old mantra: "time for a change" will never be truer than when dealing with GWB. And, in looking back from GWB to WJC...well.
