You did a good job, Michael. However, someone who believes that Clinton has much of a foreign policy is so off base, it is hard to know what to say. Similarly, it is hard to know what to say to rrman when he rants about the domination of the United States, under whose boot the defeated nations of Germany and Japan have---- flourished? and whose evil has so overcome the planet that America is the favored destination for immigrants legal and illegal. Under the hateful regimes of Reagan and Thatcher, more nations became free and more or less democratic than at any point in history. It turned out that socialism, not capitalism, sunk under the weight of its own contradictions, and that the "third way" of the Asian Tigers was pretty much a bust. The Cold War was won, although the chattering classes mostly predicted that Reagan would cause a breath- taking deterioration in relations with the Soviet Union, and the Gulf War was brief, even though numerous Democrats predicted that Americans would fill thousands of body bags. Now, Gustave's great president has launched an attack that has hastened the humanitarian catastrophe that he was supposed to prevent, and Clinton has obviously lied when he claims to have anticipated that result, since there are no adequate provisions in place to deal with the refugee crisis. He has furthermore undone years of diplomacy with the Russians by ignoring their concerns in Serbia, and he has apparently ignored the counsel of his military advisors, and is unprepared for the failure of the air campaign. He is on the verge of dissipating whatever credibility NATO may have had, and has created the destabilizing conditions that we were to have prevented. What a great president!What, a great president?!
