Looking around the country today, many people think it would be downright ungrateful not to give Clinton at least part of the credit for the general prosperity, whatever they think of his morals or his character in general. But domestic affairs are only half of the story, when it comes to assessing a president's public record.
Foreign affairs comprise the other half.
Unfortunately the American people tend to overlook this half, unless the United States gets dragged into some conflict that threatens the lives of our military personnel. They may wake up someday soon, however, to discover that one or more of a dozen global hot spots has erupted, with deadly consequences for American fighting men and women. Iraq is the obvious case in point. Clinton apparently thinks it is enough to zap Baghdad with pilotless cruise missiles by way of punishment, and the American people, at least according to the polls, seem to agree. Perhaps not even second to Iraq as a source of serious trouble for the United States is North Korea.
