>>how can I have any faith he wont make other stupid errors in judgment.<< Can I say AMEN?!! Does any one remember all the wrath Sadam was going to get if he ever reneged on letting the inspectors do their jobs? Collectively, I guess the American public has a short memory. Clinton no longer has the standing to engage in meaningful foreign policy -- if in fact he ever did. He all but approved of the Tianemen massacre while he was over in China. Who knows what kind of deals he has struck with them for campaign contributions. Every thing that guy says, it sounds like he's searching to tell someone what he thinks they want to hear.

Jim As gruesome as it might be, possibly making the past 7 months look like fluff, I might be just as happy to see the Carville Wars begin. At least then dirt will come out on a good percentage of members both parties in the Congress and White House who are not much more than unindicted felons of one kind or another (corporate bribe takers will do for most of them) as far as I am concerned. Granted this would only provide a minuscule chance of something genuinely redeeming coming out of it but that is better than the zip chance of anything redeeming happening under standard operating procedures wherein bad ( in whatever of various terms) is assigned to some clearly defined scapegoat which then is marginalized or symbolically removed while, once again, the system is proven to be good and to have withstood evil. If the boil gets lanced the outpouring pus and detritus may be enough to overwhelm the institutional sluices making it hard to deny there is something deeply failing us at the core of the oxymoronic notion of a beneficent corporate democracy.
