He's Back!
Before picking up another personal appearance check, Bubba Bill Clinton shared a few pearls of wisdom - Clinton blasts US approach to international affairs:
"Our paradigm now seems to be: something terrible happened to us on September 11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us," said Clinton, who spoke at a seminar of governance organized by (the) Conference Board.
No Bubba, they don't have to agree with us - they just have to stop trying to terrorize us. Try looking south from your Harlem digs and see if you notice anything missing on the skyline.
"And if they don't, they can go straight to hell."
Sounds good to me.
"We can't run," Clinton pointed out. "If you got an interdependent world, and you cannot kill, jail or occupy all your adversaries, sooner or later you have to make a deal."
"Let's make a deal!" - sounds like a game show. Of course, even Bubba is smart enough to know that this is a bogus straw man, but I'm sure he liked how it sounded.
"Since September 11, it looks like we can't hold two guns at the same time," Clinton said. "If you fight terrorism, you can't make America a better place to be."
Did Slick just recommend that we not fight terrorism? Back to the dustbin of history, Bubba.
