Not really a comparison, but you can't really say Clinton did all that great of a job at least in the foreign policy realm. You say European leaders liked America, that's nice, but how exactly did that benefit us?
Did it stop the embassy bombings in Africa? A lot of people died and it's probably when the "war on terror" should have started. I'm sure that there was a good deal of racism mixed in that though as the media didn't really show the gravity of that attack because most of the people killed were African workers.
Did it stop the USS Cole from being attacked?
Did anything happen in regards to Saddam during that time? Yes, he was causing trouble at the time if people remember back.
N. Korea was more or less quietly breaking the agreements they signed during that time as well.
Now, do I blame Clinton? No, he's just another step in what we're currently in. So is Bush ver. 1.0, Regan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, JFK, etc, etc...each president has failed in the arena of foreign policy and therefore has failed the American populace.
