No, Eric, I don't want to do that. You brought up
Clinton, not me. I was only pointing out the
divide between your alarmist rhetoric and the
'r-e-s-p-e-c-t' Bush gets from Congress and the
press. (But, yes, I'd like to see Bush brought up
on charges.)

I brought up Clinton to show that the predatory
nature of domestic US politics is bipartisan.
(Clinton was probably right to order the missile
strikes.) But predatory politics leaves people
with lousy options, such as being:
* cynical and disbelieving of everything anyone in
power says,
* blindly trusting and likely to be burned by that
trust sooner or later, though often sooner,
* selectively cynical along partisan lines.
It may surprise you, but I don't consider myself
an alarmist, especially in comparison to certain
others on the list. Just trying to muddle through,
with limited resources, time, and information.
