Howdy there...
I saw your message (I mostly lurk on web-consultants), of which the relevant
parts (to me) remain above... Most of it I agree with, except Clinton
actually has been rather _poor_ on foreign policy, in all regards (Iraq,
Libya, Israel/PLO [etc], Russia, Sudan, Malaysia, Japan). He's had some
success with regards to Ireland/Britain, but that wasn't his work.
If you check most of the news postings and analysis for the past few years,
you'll see what I mean -- there are plenty of articles (non-partisan at
that) about his rather weak foreign affairs. This is unfortunate, because
at the current time the US needs to be a leader in many ways, but Clinton
and his State Department team have backed down or made no headway on most
foreign issues. He was actually elected for his domestic policies and
strengths, not his foreign ones -- Dole is much stronger in the opposite
regard.
Just wanted to clear that up :-)
