"As Boris pointed out, Clinton was consistent in his opinion of war. "

Which is why he joined the ROTC?

"The decision not to be a resister and the related subsequent decisions were the most difficult of my life. I decided to accept the draft in spite of my beliefs for one reason: to maintain my political viability within the system.... ROTC was the one way left in which I could possibly, but not positively, avoid both Vietnam and resistance. "

Anyway, Stefu is right: who gives a ...?

Americans don't get anxious over Social Security, Mark, you think we're going to freak out over a measly $40 billion?

Maybe because Social Security is worth the money, hmm?

Hm.

You forgot to count:

The War on Drugs (not going so well)
The War on Terrorism (hardly hear anything about it anymore)
His secret little War in Columbia (not going so well, either)
His diplomatic War with DPRK (got blown away totally)

Plus, things aren't going well in Afghanistan. All the looting and chaos are already getting the Iraqis pissed at the US.

W would be lucky if he manages to break even.

It's a shame yeah.. I mean to make it appear so, that you were fighting in war, that you actually dodged. I think that's a huge insult to all veterans of all wars.

But then again, it happened in his youth, and it's embarrasing IMO, so why rub his nose in it... long time ago. I believe in forgiving people their past mistakes. I think everyone deserves second chance, if not convicted of very henious crimes like murders etc.. everyone, if they prove to be worth it, and when they do, they should get that second chance. But I guess American politics are dirt digging etc.

Though I must speak my mind honestly and say it's a bit weird that you can order people to go to war, when you have clearly dodged it yourself.. it's important that leaders who are in that position have gone through war themselves, so they can really weigh the options and if they still think war is necessary, then it has more weight in it. But.. what can you do.. I think there should be a rule like if you order war to happen, you must send your kids, relatives, everyone who are able to fight in the lines. Also if possible, you should go yourself, put on a helmet and start shouting orders and not be in the home troops, all cozy and safe. But that's not realistic, it would be cool thing though..

Anyway, I'm saying that Bush deserved second chance, maybe if he had the opportunity to choose again, maybe he would have chosen otherwise. He was young then..

As DD pointed out, this is totally false. Not that I expect anything better from UR, but it takes a special level of idiocy to claim that the North Koreans are winning the diplomatic battle with the US. Bush called their bluff and now they're the one making concessions.
