I don't think I changed the argument, and I think my previous answers are self-explanatory. I don't blame Reagan and Bush for anything that STARTED under Clinton, but they do bear significant responsibility for problems that started under their administrations (Saddam, bin Laden) and that they (Reagan-Bush) exacerbated.The one semi-valid point Krauthammer makes in his article is on North Korea. North Korea agreed to drop its nuclear program in 1994, then secretly re-started the program in 1998. So Clinton failed to catch them from 1998-2000 and W. Bush failed to catch them from 2000-2002. So Clinton and W. Bush can share the blame on that one.
