Well, President Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas before continuing on his way to the White House and if I am not mistaken, he had never being voted into the office of Senate, and thus did not sit on any subcommittees. As a result, his foreign diplomacy is as well versed as me, which is saying none at most. In fact, in the 1992 elections against Bush Senior, he constantly came up short against his competitor on this issue. And frankly, his first term was short on foreign policies achievement. This was only to change by his second term, as witness by his appointment of Madeline Albright and his foray into the Northern Ireland issue and his drive to search for peace in the Middle East. In fact, we have this Clinton Doctrine of American foreign initiative vis-?vis human rights and the “freedom?ideology.
Who will be BushÂ’s Secretary of State? If I am not wrong, they are trying to rope in General Colin Powell. I have yet to hear more about his appointments but we shall be wiser after the November period, if he wins that is. And seriously, being a Sec. Of State is a cushy appointment that people will not hesitate to take, regardless of their personal feelings towards George W. Bush.
True,Clinton was not very good when he took over,but at least he showed significant improvement over the years,whereas for George Bush Jr,he seems to be the sort that always makes gaffes,something that Clinton did not make,so i guess Bush Jr may be good for domestic policies,but he is like a blind man groping in the dark regarding foreign policies
Gen Colin Powel is a good man,but whether he will take up the secretary of state poistion is still a question which will be known in a few months time,but if you compare Bush Jr to Nixon,Colin Powel is certainly not of Kissinger's calibre,ehehe

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you on my plate,
I would eat you up and pray the Lord, i put on some weight
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you drop onto the floor,
I would call the waiter over and ask for 1 more.
If I knew it would be the last meal before i go to sleep,
I would sleep soundly knowing you are in my stomach deep.
