Peace: I can’t speak to Kerry or Gore (although I would opine that Gore would probably come up with a pretty good energy policy).
However, Clinton’s record in foreign policy is a matter of public record and the record isn’t good. In the plus column, Clinton did make some positive interventions (albeit very tardily in the Balkans). In the negative column, you have Somalia, North Korea, absolute silence following the two African embassy bombings, first WTC bombing, Khobar Towers (Saudi), and the USS Cole attack. He dithered for years while the Serbs ethnically cleansed the Balkans, but did finally commit to a very effective bombing campaign.
I have friends who served under Clinton, and I lost two friends during Somalia (Task Force Ranger/Operation Gothic Serpent), and all agree that Clinton was an unmitigated disaster when it came to foreign policy. Bush, however, is right there with him.
Wasn’t Kerry the guy who voted for the war, until he voted against it? I think old John would have his own set of issues. And I find his calling those who served in Vietnam “baby killers” grotesque.
