I agree the gop path is without merit.. unfortunately, I don't think Bill would have handled 9/11 differently and I think his willingness to drop bombs on Iraq in the 90's showed that. Too many times I remember him resorting to dropping bombs, when it simply wasn't necessary. I don't believe he ever launched attacks in a wag the dog situation, but I do think he gave into PNAC type demands too often and too quickly.

It was his order of regime change that the bush administration relied upon in large part to make the case for war with Iraq. That was my problem with Kly lierberman... it creates the same basis for war with Iran some point down the road.

I was not a CLinton fan during his 8 years... he did more to advance the republican agenda than the previous republican... Welfare reform, unrestricted free trade, media consolodation, the DMCA... and Al Gore as vice president didn't force us to find some way into an energy policy, so we get stuck with Cheney doing that task 4 years later?

I don't think Obama is the solution to all our problems, but I think there is at least a chance.. A CHANCE that it won't be business as usual.
