Not that Clinton is doing particularly positive alternatives, but his

policies also are not as flat out murderous and in support of completely

reactionary forces in the third world as LBJ and Nixon were.

Jesus, Nathan. Are you aware of the situation that's been transpiring in Iraq for the last few years? The body count there is well over a million. Recently, Denis Halliday, who ran the UN's relief program there, declared that the sanctions policy is essentially one of genocide.

Clinton's Secretary of State replies that the "price is worth it."

Take off the blinders, man.
