"I'm all for fighting in Afghanistan . . . but no one believes that we can build a safe world just by preventing and punishing bad things," Clinton said

Yeah, but it's a good start. Ya should have tried it occasionally during your frickin' eight years in office.

Clinton also talked about the choices confronting a former president over the role he should play in his post-White House years.

A former president can either "be a has-been and play golf and pretend you were a Republican, even if you weren't," Clinton told a roomful of 1,600 diners at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, who chuckled in response. "Or you have to find some way to be useful."

Slick, we'll deal with it if you stick to golfing. Be sure to invite OJ and the Rodham brothers from time to time, you'll make a splendid foursome. Now I'd much rather you take a taxpayer-paid vacation at Leavenworth, but I'll settle for you golfing the rest of your sorry life away...

Wouldn't want to PUNISH people for their irresponsibility, would we?

Wouldn't want people to be responsible for their own actions now, would we?
