<<Which areas would you want us to pull out of, Yugoslavia? Iraq? Middle East? Texas?>> I didn't say to pull out of anything. On the other hand our policy in Iraq for nearly a decade has resulted in the monthly deaths of over 5000 children under the age of 5. These children are not members or supporters of the Saddam regime they are innocent villagers starving to death and dying of treatable disease. The progress this effort has made on deposing Saddam? Negative, since the families of these children would have been the revolutionaries to depose the regime. Mass genocide by the clinton regime with no plan to correct a failed strategy of targeting innocents? Yep. Improving middle eastern status for the US? Negative, since Middle Eastern countries unilaterally for the first time in decades are allied in their outspoken condemnation of this practice. But we're to super powerful to worry about any thing ever coming back on us as a result, right? On the other hand, when the monica scandal heats up the ex-peace freak could just put his new hawk hat on and break every standard of practice for making decisions to attack another country. Why not bomb another pill factory in an innocent country, against the advise of key advisors. I am sure eventually the white house will find a positive spin for that one. Not so far though. Yeah, bill clinton commander and chief. You've got your self a dandy there. <<President Clinton is a great communicator.>> Translation...He is the best liar you've ever met. <<He has commanded a lot of honor and respect everywhere he goes.>> Translation...we are so dependant on him to guard our petty social movement issues that we will provide our support to enable him to continue NO MATTER WHAT. Every time I hear a clintonite claim. "Well, if he had done this or that" or "if some woman was accusing him of this or that," then "We would definitely be against him" I laaaaauuugh. Ha, There is nothing left. He and you have systematically whittled every possible platform to stand on in his defense and your own. Ah, dependency its a wonderful thing. That is until papa bear is defeated by the cancer he has created. <<That is what I have been warning about, the State getting control of a woman's reproductive system.>> Warning about...Translation=worrying about, propogandizing about, creating hysteria about. The interesting thing here is that none of the women I love and respect worry about this even for a moment. Ha, and there it is and that is all it is. Bill clinton the only one worthy of guarding your girl friends womb. Ironic indeed. You have sacrificed everything for this stupid drum beat.

About the only people whose respect he commands is those who are beholden to entitlements. Foreign policies are pretty much a shambles. As has been the case over time (not just under Clinton), the only influence the US has on other nations is (1) the proposed policy is in the foreign country's national interest, (2) the US utilizes military force, or (3) the US utilizes foreign aid. Otherwise, the notion of respect and honor is a myth. In many cases, the foreign country will hold out for (3) even when (1) is the case.
