It would have been better if Clinton had uttered those words, or something remotely similar, when the terrorists were bombing our consulates, our military barracks, the World Trade Center, and even destroying a NAVAL SHIP - the first since Pearl Harbor to be totaled by enemy weapons. If Clinton had taken the hard line, as Bush did, the results might have been the same: no terrorist action against us on our soil - or elsewhere for 8 shining years. In that same speech, Bush identified our enemies as ALL terrorists, and not just bin Laden and his group. The world recognized that Bush meant exactly what he said when he laid down the gauntlet with the "for us or agin us," not safe anywhere speech. Even Libya's contentious leader jumped up on our bandwagon and agreed to finally dismantle their terrorist-training camps. AND today, although bombings have increased, they are bombing each other, and not us. Like Roosevelt said: "Speak softly, and carry a big stick." At their current level of civilized development and in their cultural milieu, strength is what terrorists respect. Other countries might disparage America, but when it hits the fan, it's America they call on and rely on. Maybe if our media and our entertainers would stop their negativity, carried live all over the world, we'd have a better press rating. Interestingly enough, in a recent Reader's Digest poll, we got some very negative ratings, but at the same time, America is the country most foreigners would emigrate to. Go figure.
