Bill Clinton, addressing the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, Nov. 7, justified the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon when he stated that America is "paying the price today" for looking "the other way when a significant number of Native Americans were dispossessed and killed to get their land or their mineral rights or because they were thought of as less than fully human." Apparently, the 5,000 office workers who reported to work at the World Trade Center on the morning of Sept. 11, or those who boarded four passenger planes, deserved to be incinerated according to Clinton, because our government fought Indian wars over 100 years ago. This comment is as asinine and evil as suggesting that Israel would be justified in hijacking a plane and blowing up an office tower in Berlin in 2001 because of Hitler's holocaust. Clinton's justification for this mass murder is viler than anything Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein could have cooked up.
If Americans are "paying the price today" for past generations who may have dispossessed and/or killed native Americans to "get their land or mineral rights," than Clinton should have no problem defending the killing of leftists today who are either presently living in the Communist world or who have lent aid and comfort to Communist causes in recent decades. After all, as recently as this last century the Communists dispossessed and/or killed over 100 million people according to the Black Book of Communism.
People have no mineral rights at all in Communist countries; such rights are controlled by the "progressive" state. The Communists, no doubt, must have viewed the 100 million people whom they murdered for not being politically correct as having been "less than fully human." Do those in America, the land of the free, such as Clinton himself who supported and defended Communists and their causes all these years deserve to "pay the price" for the crimes of Communism? Clinton and his ilk would, no doubt, think that these crimes were Communist crimes and therefore were carried out for the common good. Gotta break a few eggs to make an omlette as the old saying goes.
In the course of his America-hating rant at Georgetown, Clinton trotted out a type of atrocity propaganda that would have made the most ardent Stalinist blush. He stated, in defense of the Sept. 11 attacks, that "Here in the United States, we were founded as a nation that practiced slavery, and slaves quite frequently were killed even though they were innocent." Maybe we Americans should remember the nineteenth century sin of slavery as the Islamic terrorists spray us with smallpox and as the government herds us off at gunpoint to the nearest quarantine center. What about those Americans whose ancestors did not "practice slavery," such as post Civil War immigrants, residents of free states, or, for that matter, descendants of slaves? Would Bill Clinton also expect them to "pay the price" or would they be somehow spared from the radiation after an Islamic fanatic detonates a nuclear bomb in an American city?
Clinton's pro-Taliban cant is beginning to build steam across a broad spectrum of the America-hating left. It's becoming all the rage amongst many associated with the aristocratic set. They seek to disparage and blame this country for an attack that was, essentially, carried out by leftist extremists. We had it coming, after all, many of them reason in their Aesopian style jargon. Like Clinton and his ilk, many of them really can't help but identify with the poor Islamic extremists whom they view from the comfort of their coffee bars and cafes. After his execrable performance at Georgetown, Clinton should be forced to join Bin Laden. He should move, along with other like-minded comrades, to bin Laden's miserable crevice somewhere in Afghanistan. ***

Just the country?
What other past president has the media following them around speech to speech? Where's the charm let alone the value?
Should say:
He should move, along with other like-minded comrades, up bin Laden's miserable crevice somewhere in Afghanistan.
Best "take" I've seen on this!
I know there's a lot of speculation (I)X-42 is "code talking to the faithful," but aside from his usual "It's the other guy's fault," I'll be dogged if I can figure out what he's trying to say.
I loathe that man and live for the day that I can spit in his face.
