Okay, fair enough, I don't think he was that bad a statesman. I think his domestic agenda did alright, and without him, there'd still be bombs going off in Northern Ireland (yes, it was George Mitchell that did all the grunt work, but without Clinton investing so much political capital in it, the Good Friday accords never would have happened). Even if he did with a gun to his head, he did sign the welfare reform bills. I'm just saying he doesn't rank up there with a Carter in my book. The one exception to that was his treatment of Al Queda. The blatant, willful negligence was criminal and somebody should bring him up on charges for the numerous times he refused to take Bin Laden into custody.
