A Difference of Two Terms

Greg Piper says that Bush and Clinton are more alike than either guys’ supporters want to admit. Maybe so. Note, however, there remains significant differences between the two that will forever separate them in the annals. Perhaps without the small, seemingly backward steps of Clinton, Bush might not have been able to begin the first huge steps of getting that ripple of democracy started in the Middle East with the rock of the Iraqi invasion. Nevertheless, the fact is, Bush’s actions in Iraq, whether with democratic intent or not, are more significant already than Clinton’s tainted legacy.
I’d have more to say on the subject, but I’m in Los Angeles looking out for number one, and I honestly don’t have the time.

  1. Well, Clinton basically said what should happen and the younger Bush did it. I wish Clinton had acted on his words but he was operating in a pre-9/11 environment in which it might have been difficult, with both parties, to take preemptive action against Iraq.
