Yes. If that's really the case, it seems rather childish to me, now... looking back on it... to say Clinton's administration was going to do all these things to undermine our freedom and it ended up really happening on Ws watch. And it makes me think the Repubs had secret plans they were trying to keep up their sleeve and couldn't so they let it out as part of the smear campaign against BC. The Lewinsky thing was a better smear campaign... I mean, to speculate and try and hang something nasty on somebody that's really something you plan on doing yourself in the future is just lame, to say the least.
We could go back and forth on the "whose watch" this whole thing started under, but I think we'd have to go back pretty far. To me, it doesn't really matter who started it, but who made the biggest mess. From what I've seen of past administrations, approaching foreign affairs with a great deal of finese seems more effective. Although the US wasn't exactly the world power then that it is now, is it really necessary to be a bully just to stay on top?
The problem with all this is, most of us don't necessarily possess the ability to do the required homework on either side of these issues. Most of what we have to go on is what other people write and we probably won't know their slant, either. I would love to be an investigative reporter, mostly because I don't trust most other people's interpretations and opinions. Reading Hitler's Mein Kampf, specifically the sections having to do with propaganda, how to be a good orator and dealing with the masses, really made me look at the media and people in the public eye very differently. Besides, partisan political rangling irritates the crap out of me.
Anyway... rambling. Politics Schmolotics... I guess it's what we/I do when we get tired of talking about Stevie's hair.
