ORIGINAL: meatcleaver quote:
ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Julia, but Clinton told us he "made peace" in the Middle East a few years ago just like he "made peace" in N. Ireland! Don't you remember those big signing ceremonies on the tv? As for the middle east I couldn't care less if they all slaughter each other over there. Just leave us out of it. He might well have but the US system means he has to leave office after the second term and in comes a President with a different set of priorities and so there is no follow through and things tend to fall a part. It's not Clinton's fault but the US constitution which doesn't allow a President action over the long term even if US citizens want it. "Because Israel believes when it comes right down to it, America is the only big country that cares whether they live or die. That's why I can say, "give up the West Bank," because the Israelis knew that if the Iraqi or the Iranian army came across the Jordan River, I would personally grab a rifle, get in the ditch and fight and die, and I would." ------ Bill Clinton http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0208/02/ip.00.html Despite the above quote, I think Clinton at the very least made an honest effort to bring peace to both the middle east, as well as in the Northern Ireland/UK situation.
