He did go off on Wallace, but what I saw was passion and enthusiasm, not hatred or meaness. He had an enthusiastic look in his eye, not a mean one. If you watched Wallace's reactions, you could tell that he was guilty as sin for setting it up. Let's look at the facts, it wasn't a debate...an interview, a setup. And of course Fox News was going to try to say Clinton went crazy after the fact...Sure, Clinton could have handled it better, but what he did was not necessarily wrong either.
Besides, there are many other people that have seen through the propaganda of the Republican party, and have seen the entire uncut interview, and agreed with me.
I'm not a liberal or a conservative 100% of the time. I'm both, depending on the topic. I am also neither a Dem or Repub. I am strictly center. But I do not like some of the things that the Bush administration is doing, and the Republicans definitely use their propaganda a little more harshly than the Dems do. I mean, the Dems don't have an Ann Coulter! I don't like parties. I think that they cloud a lot of people's minds. They are ALL for Repubs, or ALL for Dems. It drives me crazy because you can't talk to either side about good things that the other side is doing. From my experience, seems worse with the Repubs than the Dems though. If no one has ever read George Orwell's 1984, you need to read it. Great book. This actually happened in Nazi Germany. It could very well happen again.
By the way, the USS Cole, was attacked in late 2000. Neither Bush or Clinton did enough in my opinion, but Clinton did say he tried, so I will take it that he tried. Still, he obviously wasn't able to get the job done.
Also, about Black Hawk Down. Clinton got overwhelming pressure to pull out. The Repubs that are criticizing him now were putting the most pressure on him. This world may not be perfect, but what happens if everybody quits trying to do good and make it that way. Of course, it will never be perfect, but that doesn't mean that people like me aren't going to try to do some good.
Also, it is false that I am starstruck by Clinton. I don't like the man, but I think that he is a lot smarter than our president right now, and I think that our country was a lot better off economically when he was president.
Troops are dying and it is for a lost cause. All we are going to end up doing is replacing the old dictator with a new one. Real smart. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but Iraq is in a full civil war.
Bush is always thumping his chest. He thumps his chest every time he puts a little more fear into Americans when talking about terrorists. You are obviously scared to death. And it scares me that you are letting this fear overtake you. Do you know what comes after the authoritarian style? Are you saying that the U.S. should become a dictatorship? Do you actually know what an indirect democracy is?
