I pretty much agree with everything except Clinton being weak on the military. The action in Kosovo resolved the situation without making us look like war-mongering idiots and the pressure and support we gave Serbia helped depose Milosovic without an invasion.
BTW, Clinton's actions in Kosovo were loudly criticized by Republicans as being too agressive as well as not providing clear enough proof of it being necessary. How soon they forget!
Sorry, I finally decided to check out Democrats.org. It is very biased but I believe if you look at the Republicans criticism of the Democrats and the Democrats criticisms of the Republicans, you can get an idea of the problems in government, since both sides are happy to point out the flaws in their opponents but not those of their friends.
