I don't think it was Clinton trying to weaken us, but rather the Chinese and Middle Eastern tyrants.
Bill Clinton is being used, first by Hillary, and then also by the Chinese, sometimes allied with the Middle Easterners, to further their evil schemes for world domination. Hillary is the ideologue, rather like Trotsky. The power (money) comes from the money we ourselves have spent, for oil and dry goods, with the Middle Easterners and the Chinese. Bill is a petty 'man', driven by his own lusts. It really was all about sex, and other addictions of drugs and public adulation, for him. It was about far more for the forces that put Bill Clinton on our national stage.
Though Clinton was trying to weaken us, though I think not so much by his own scheming but by the scheming of the "powers behind the thrown," Hillary and the other s listed above.
Gore was profoundly right - there is no controlling legal authority, not on the world stage where this is being played out.
One cannot have a healthy economy and laws respecting free men, and their lives and property, unless a properly formed government, kept in check by a responsible and informed citizenry, is established to provide for the common safety and governance. This applies to geographic regions, and now it applies to this planet.
We are far far from having a healthy world government instituted by an informed and responsible world citizenry. The only putative world government we have now, the United Nations, is a den of thieves and tyrants. Fortunately, its weaknesses usually exceed its evils.
The human race now has a world economy, without the proper world governance and without the informed and responsible citizenry required to form that governance. This planet will continue to look like the Barbary Coast, home of Islamic pirates between the 1500's and the 1800's.
The U.S. will continue to have to "make the world safe for democracy,", if we continue to have the stomach for it.
