Default Re: Air your beefs about Bill Clinton

I thought his foreign policy was inconsistent and often ill-conceived.

He had the opportunity to take forceful action in Rwanda and Bosnia and instead sent conflicting signals and and passed it off the UN, when it was clear the UN had no intentions of doing anything. In the meantime we wasted our military initiative in places like Somalia and Haiti.

Bosnia especially drove me nuts. Here was a case where great wrongs were perpetrated on a Muslim population by a Christian country. Serbia had made it clear that they would back down under pressure and we stood by and let ethnic cleansing take place. It was a terrific opportunity to improve our standing in the Muslim world with little downside and it was bungled.
