It's Simple Lindy
Forget Your Conspiracy theories and recitation of irrelevant facts to look at the disasterous reduction in US stature and ability to confront anti-democratic regimes during the Carter administration (even admitted by the press then - and I think you are old enough to remember). Then look at the continuing reduction in Iraqi sanction effectiveness and associated UN corruption during Clinton's 8 years. Then look at the growing strength of Al-queida during those years. Couple all that with the totally ineffective use of American ,ilitary might by those 2 presidents and you might just get a clue why I despise their foreigh policy failures.
