Calling President Clinton

http://carolinademline.blogspot.com

The last three mornings I have woke and viewed the further escolation of the crisis gripping the Middle East. Each side has dug in and is prepared to take the next step that may lead to an all out war in this modern day powderkeg. War in the Middle East would put United States soldiers in Iraq in the middle of a crisis which has no clear cut end. This situation is so dangerous that we may be witnessing the dawning of World War III.

Throughout the week, I have watched as the Bush Administration, and its incompetent Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice, fumbled the ball on dealing with the situation. The administration appears to be at a loss for plans on how to end this crisis peacefully. It is because of the administration's lack of a foreign policy strategy that I write this blog in hope that someone influential will read it and give my suggestion to the President.

If President Bush wants to be a leader and end the current Middle East crisis, he should put partisianship aside and ask former President Bill Clinton to be a personal envoy to the region in hope of negotiating a peace. President Clinton is the only person in the world who can bring the parties together and hammer out an aggreement. Clinton has the missing link that the Bush Administration lacks, the respect of the world community, and could barter a peace before the situation evolves past the point of no return.

So I say to President Bush, be "a uniter not a divider" and call on President Clinton to help the United States and the world out in this hour of darkness. The history books will write highly of you.

Clinton, Carter or George Mitchell

all 3 have significant clout in the Mid East and all, unlike the divider-in-chief, are respected around the world.

Paul Hooson at has some interesting thoughts on what is happening in the mid east.

George

doesn't know how to be a uniter. It's not in his DNA to do anything except divide. He's like a renegade amoeba. Divide. Divide. Divide.

The US has no clout and no say whatsoever to avert this global meltdown. It is just what the American jihadists wanted all along . . . the end times.

The Big Dog

has just broken my heart. I've felt for the last few years that triangulation hurt our country more than anything the Republicans have done themselves, because it allowed them to move the country to the right.

Now this about the war? Where the heck is the President that attacked Bush at the Democratic Convention?

Clinton, Carter AND Albright

Yes! Call in the big dogs. That's my diplomatic dream team in the title.

The precise moment when we teeter on the cliff of WW III is NOT the time to pretend you're not losing the damn game, and it ain't a good time to send in the diplomatic scrubs either.

Send a message loud and clear: Yes, we actually DO care about something other than navel gazing over oil prices and worrying only about what shit means to our dang pocketbooks. Send the biggest dogs we got. Bill Clinton. Jimmy Carter. Madeline Albright. [And recall friggin' Bolton from the UN to underline the message.]
