Sure, I agree that Clinton's actions could be accurately described as intended to distract the domestic audience rather than to achieve any foreign-policy objective. Really, all one has to do to come to that conclusion is examine Clinton's newfound discovery of terrorism at the time that Lewinsky was testifying in front of a grand jury.

However, to say that after 9/11 - that the current war is a mere distraction from the real problems here at home - exhibits a lack of critical thinking processes. I get the feeling from the author that he is reflexively committed to a particular policy (isolationism) and is willing to distort to any length to promote it.

I have to agree that that the ongoing fight in the middle east is not a distraction..it never was.
