Is Clinton really responsible for terrorism? I don't think so
If we remember Clinton was facing ridiculous charges against him. Do you think it was him or DeLay(who might be going to prison soon) and friends that were impeding his fight against terrorism?

1. From what I understand,
terrorism can go back further than Bill Clinton. I think the Reagan's can take some credit for it. How about funding bin Laden, then, in the first Bush administration, sending troops to Mecca and Medina, the holy lands in Saudi Arabia. That, to me is when terrorism started against the United States. But, then again, that is just my opinion. I am sure I am leaving some things out.

2. What
About the bombing in Beirut, the killing of Kinghoffer(sp?), the taking over the embassy in Iran and holding our citizens for over a year?

4. I'm probably not making much sense
I was just wondering what your opinions were about Clinton and his fight on terrorism, and if he did all he could or if he was hindered by certain Republicans.

6. Clinton is responsible for all the evils throughout history
At least according to Rush and his the Fright Wing radio clones... you can trace the American Civil War, the British burning the White House in the War of 1812, Pearl Harbor, the Crusades, the My Lai massacre, the Cold War & Arms Race all on Clinton.

7. Novel Idea
Now about we blame the terrorist for terrorism. There is a choice that is made. Will I strap this bomb on and blow up a builiding or not. Just like the far right wing wackos that are holed up in Idaho with 3 years worth of food and enough guns to arm a battalion, the terrorist have turned the Koran in to a document that allows the killing of non-muslums.

Put the blame where it belongs, on the people commiting the terrorist acts.
