Sorry, Curtie, but Osama was/is not the head of a regime in a strategically important geo-political area. He did not have sanctions leveled against him. He was no more "contained" than you or I.

I realize that Clinton-bashing has become a national pastime rivalling baseball, but eventually some of you will need to put things in perspective. Clinton's sexcapades significantly pale in comparison to the loss of life caused by Bush's world-opinion-be-damned attitude.

When pundits around the world wrote of Clinton's scandal it was with a wink-wink, nudge-nudge, atta-boy smirk. Time will tell how the world evaluates Bush, but thus far it is with a disdain and abhorrence of his arrogance.

So what? Who cares what the world thinks - we're Americans, by God! Sorry, but that attitude just doesn't work in today's geo-political arena.
