Good points. I would suggest that there was almost no difference between the U.S. foreign policy agenda under Clinton and under George W. Bush. Their approaches may have been different, but the end result — and the underlying agenda — was nearly identical.
I’d highlight the deciding difference that GWB was going after islamist terrorists, while Clinton was not.
Okay, thats nuts
. Whereas I would highlight the differences as being 180 degrees opposite.
Clinton allowed multiple repeated attacks by rabid muslim islamic fundamentalists - and then ran away and supported...rabid muslims by attacking Christians with overwhelming military force in Serbia.
Bush attacked the Taliban 1st thing and wiped them off the board as major players in Afghanistan, allowing a more modern and more civilized government to take hold, attacked and invaded Iraq in order to stabilize an entire region from a pan Arab militant Nationalist who had dropped poison gas on his own people, who had started 2 major wars by invasion, and who had very close ties with terrorist organizations while paying suicide murderers cash rewards to blew woman and children in Israel to bloody pieces.
That's the difference.
