While I don't disagree with your assertion that he is an honest man, his
good work in the form of Habitat for Humanity are being obscured by a world
view that is as weak and naove as it was when he was President.  He inserted
himself into the North Korean situation in the mid '90's to broker an
"agreement" that was never honored by Pyongyang, and has been extremely
outspoken against our efforts to get rid of Hussein (although he has been
strangely quiet lately...).

For this, he won a Nobel Peace prize.   Unbelievable.

BTW Greg...long time, no see.  Hope all is well.
