You mean it was Bill Clinton's fault.
I believe it was under the watch of George Bush that UN weapons inspections in Iraq resumed after a long absence.

the intricacies of american politics mean little to a region gripped by fear and paralyzed by what america might do next.
yes, it was bill clinton that authorized the TERRORIST ACT (undeclared act of war on a civilian population), the regionally infamous sudan aspirin debacle.
yes, UN weapons inspections, courtesy on hans blix (sp?), probably could not have resumed if not for america's tough stance.
but it remains to be said that america, regardless of who was the head honcho, had long before lost any diplomatic clout in the situation.
absolutely despicable, allowing the CIA to sneak in on UNSCOM's equipment, and then claiming moral superiority after the fact.
that act, right there, is the declaration of pax americana.
it's on.
