I agree that Bill Clinton should (have) been brought to justice for the allegations you describe. At this stage of his life, I wonder who, what, all that.

Meaning, I do believe he's been accurately evaluated and judged by the public for his bad deeds and for a person such as he is, who literally lives for public affection and affirmation as to his veracity -- such as it is -- the evaluation and judgement has been effective and meaningful.

He's a talented fundraiser for humanitarian causes internationally and I think, in that regard, Clinton's doing something good with the time and resources available to him. It does not excuse who he has been and shouldn't be trusted not to still be, but it's a start and it's serving a good purpose, to a great degree.

I would quite have enjoyed being a bird in the rafters at the recent World Economic Summit, however.

I agree that Clinton being taken in towe by former President Bush is despicable on a moral level. However, I also think that it is more a case of the Senior Bush, et al., keeping an eye on him while putting him to use on behalf of the country and world's needy (supposedly). As a person of faith, I consider that a useful thing.

Let's see...the Senior Bush is pretty old by now and President Clinton's on shaky longevity ground with his heart, so, let them be elder statesmen if that's what they want. As long as he's kept out of national politics (Clinton, Bill), I'm not as outraged as some AND I'm as conservative as can be found.

I think that most of the labels being doled out here on this thread, however, serve no purpose in this situation. Most of us can be a little bit shaky on one area in someone else's view and vice versa but there's no means to conclusively evaluate anyone based solely on public commenting, other than their general educational level and comprehension abilities.

One big Reason Al Gore didn't win in a landslide is due to his participation in the corruption of the Clinton admin. The American electorate voted out of their disgust and narrowly elected GWB. That being said, it follows that a majority of Americans would have supported a trial or trials airing the truth about the true nature of all of the Clinton's crimes and malfeasance, including their goon squads.

But alas, we see that law and justice in this country has no teeth when it comes to traitors and criminals when they have occupied the catbird seat of power. The highest crimes can be committed against the American people, and there's no price to be paid. In fact, he is given the hero's treatment by a former Republican President, as if thumbing his nose at the rule of law and American justice in general. I'll say it once again, it's sickening! I'm sure that many FReepers here agree with me.

I couldn't care less if he's going around doing humanitarian projects like some Mother Theresa, justice is either for all of us or it doesn't really exist. It's a sham if it is only pointed towards the lowly and not the powerful.
