	FrontPage magazine.com :: History Will Not be Kind to Clinton by Charles Krauthammer
		Clinton let a decade of unprecedented American prosperity and power go without doing anything about al-Qaeda, Afghanistan or Iraq (where his weakness allowed France and Russia to almost totally undermine the post-Gulf War sanctions).
		Its essence is captured perfectly, and inadvertently, in one sentence, Clinton's own account of his response to al-Qaeda's most spectacular and murderous pre-Sept. 11 outrage: the African embassy bombings of Aug. 7, 1998.
		What appalled me then, a feeling that returns as Clinton has gone national revisiting his own presidency, is the smallness of a man who granted equal valence to his own indulgences on the one hand and to the fate of nations on the other.

	Charles Krauthammr: Clinton fails by justifying war as tort action
		Clinton's ultimate aim is yet more process: a return to the inspection regime of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
		Most dispiriting about Clinton's speech was its reminder of the Democrats' ideological inclination against viewing American aims abroad in terms of power and national interest, of intimidating enemies and supporting friends, of getting our way when we know we are right.
		Clinton and his team are process people -- peace process, war process, any process -- bent on returning admittedly ineffective inspectors to "do their jobs" and on making a congenitally duplicitous Mideastern Caligula abide by his "promises."

	George Clinton Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Charles Clinton achieved modest prominence through military and political office, but it was the marriage of his sons, James to Mary DeWitt in 1765 and George to Cornelia Tappen in 1769, that gave the Clintons status in New York society and future political allies among influential Dutch families.
		For the next 7 years Clinton consistently opposed grants for supporting the king's troops, and he was one of a mere five assemblymen who in 1770 voted against jailing Alexander McDougall, a Whig "firebrand" who had publicly criticized the House for betraying its trust by its military appropriations.
		While Clinton continued to be popular personally, his political followers hereafter faced stiff opposition from the Federalists, who in 1789 secured control of the legislature and in 1792 just missed placing John Jay in the governor's chair.
