Outstanding in most respects. I do not believe Blair is Bush's "opposite", however - both are deeply religious men, and they communicate on that level.

Bush is going to spend years cleaning up the mess Clinton left.

And history shows that the world has far more to gain from the deployment of that power than by its withdrawal. If the poor people of Iraq know that lesson, what’s stopping the Europeans?

Hubris.

Ivan, I cannot tell from the articles you post, which comments you have added or embellished.Are the red highlights your views or the authors? It makes for a confusing read and I wish i could endorse what you're doing, but can't.If they are your editorials, could you post them in the comments section, like everyone else?

Ivan, did you see the Oxford Union Debate on whether the US was the biggest barrier to world Peace? C-SPAN showed it here. Very interesting. Why did the 'speaker of the union' where a kilt? Just curious.

So, what was Blair's connection to Slick Willy? His "bonding" with "the Bent One" certainly didn't generate any respect in my eyes. Does he respect the office or the man? Or has he had a metamorphosis?

Clinton was a master of the European dialogue. He meant very few things he said but he said them very well.

In the same way as Clinton heralds he brought peace to Northern Ireland. Funny how Tony Blair, in the middle of an Iraqi war situation, spent time last week in NI trying to diplomatically soothe the waters once again in my disgruntled nation.

Clinton WAS, and remains a schmoozer.

[Happygal]

BTW...didn't Clinton say that he didn't have a 'defining moment' like 9/11 in his presidency.

What sort of sick individual sees the loss of 3,000 lives of his own people as a political opportunity?

[dfwgator]

He was a great schmoozer. When he compared the Serbian genocide to the Holocaust, it sounded earnest but nobody, least of all the Bosnians, believed he meant it.

But our so-called "First Black President" failed to use the word "genocide" to describe what happened in Rwanda.

Attention all debaters:::

This Clinton'98 quote is a devastating ploy to pull out against the peaceniks.

It is worth knowing, at least in close paraphrase. I've stopped several folks dead in their tracks with it.
