Hi Rick - as they say "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely".
That said, Bill's an angel by comparison to some - stick your head up, and look at news other than CNN (smile).
But what is different about Bill and Saddam? In my mind, little, except that Saddam is more of a threat to the country I live in. Fundamentally, however, neither of them can be trusted.
So, are you looking for vindication or what? At least Bill is not murdering thousands of his countrymen like some despots alive today.
Perhaps you folks over there are too hyped up by cinematic conspiracy theories and story-lines to realise that the despots of the world today, are not much different to the despots of the world 50, or 500 or 5000 years ago.
Love,
Andrew.
