I thought about it. He really would be the most powerful person in the world, if he could resolve this political entanglement for our country. Right now he's the biggest constipation in the world. Guess what, he could resolve this, if he'd swallow some of his pride and resign. Personally I'd think well of him, and regain some of the respect I use to have for him.

If you look through history, the most powerful people in the world have always been felons. And the greatest civilizations commit the greatest crimes.

To me, Clinton became a criminal when he ordered the execution of a mentally retarded man in Arkansas just so he could say he was tough on crime back in 1992. He reinforced my opinon when he bombed a Sudanese drug factory. Bush bombed the hell out of countries of two murderous despots (Noriega and Hussein) he was buddies with in the past. Reagan lied about the Iran-Contra debacle, as well as bombing the hell out of Lebanon. Nixon--well, Nixon.... LBJ was a ruthless war criminal who bombed the poor people of Vietnam to dust. Kennedy almost started WWIII. Eisenhower sponsored coups in Iran, Guatemala, Dominican Republic. Truman and his ilk subverted the democratic aspirations of many small countries after WWII. They're all felons.

Why weren't they tried and convicted? Justice is the will of the powerful, or something like that, Plato wrote.

Scary, isn't it?
Scary? Not at all. What's scary to me are Clinton's enemies.

By the way, I've met many felons, real ones--not this white-collar perjury/obstruction crap--they're people just like everyone else, with feelings, dreams, good days, and bad. :-)
