I've seen a lot of defense for him being cowardly during the Rwandan genocide, but why?

In my mind he did not deserve to be President after what he let happen there. Donald Rumsfeld probably would have had US troops in Rwanda, easily kicking the genocidial government's a$$ and then all the Rwandans would be thankful for being saved. Boom, a million people saved and an utterly grateful American ally in East Africa.

Also am I the only one who noticed that the question in the thread subject and the question in the poll are asking two different things?

Even if Clinton decided to intervene there was no infrastructure for that kind of operation compared to how he intervened in Bosnia.

Infrastructure could have been made, then Rwanda would be rich and American.

Not a failure overall, but we should have intervened. Same goes for Obama and Syria.

No, but DADT, DOMA, gutting Welfare, repealing Glass-Steagall, and the Crime Bill do.
