Who cozied up to Saddam because he was killing Iranians? Who armed the warlords and mujahedin in Afghanistan because they were fighting the Soviets? Who are still good buddies with the Saudis?
You want to blame Clinton for what he didn't do? Make sure you blame his predecessors for what they did.
And now, the answer to having armed these people is to make war on them. It's like watching a bunch of kids play with GI Joes, only real people are getting killed. And it continues.
