Clinton needs a permission slip to invade Afghnastan (sp?) because Bush didn't need too.# Or did he ask the UN first?# We all know the UN is corrupt.
I'm sure if Clinton had really pressed the issue he could have invaded Afganastan. (sp?)

I'm not talking about permission from the UN (which in no way got in Bush's way on the Afghanistan invasion). I'm talking about permission from his own government and citizens. There is no way that before 9/11 Clinton would have been able to make a case for going into Afghanistan. You think the coalition is small now, it would have been non-existent then. Unless by "pressing the case", you mean fearmongering - then yes, Clinton probably could have made a case. It just isn't something someone should do in a democratic country. A fascist country sure.
After the Afghanistan conflict (which hasn't even finished yet), Bush played on people's fear to invade a country that in no way was threat to America.
BTW, here are some positive reviews for Fahrenheit 9/11. I guess they cancel each other out, right?
