Peace Is At Hand

The Toronto Star says that Bill Clinton has a plan.

It’s very simple, really. Just establish a Palestinian state. Now.

And he’s serious. At least as serious as Bill Clinton ever is about anything (other than getting even with his enemies).

But this was my favorite part:

Clinton drew applause for his own commitment to Israel when he stated that should the Iraqis ever cross over the Israeli border for aggression, “I would personally get in a ditch, grab a rifle, and fight and die.”

It’s not clear if the applause was because they actually believed the old draft dodger (possible, in a Canadian audience that was apparently there voluntarily), because it was such a side-splitting joke, or because the image itself was so hilarious.

Anyway, it’s obvious that Mr. Clinton has no military experience (though he finally managed to learn how to salute after eight years of practice). One doesn’t generally find rifles in ditches. But it wouldn’t be surprising to find Bill Clinton in one…
