You are so far right, everything seems left to you.
Bush deserves bashing. He is aiding Ahmadinejad, who was elected, but in an election with several other candidates, so while he got more votes than others, most Iranians didn't vote for him. By constantly picking on Iran (Axis of evil and other name-calling) it evokes nationalism in Iran, and builds support for Ahmadinejad.
Letting him speak was the right thing to do. Let him make a fool of himself like saying "there are no homosexuals in Iran". (we could send them some republican congressmen)
I have never defended Clinton, except to say he is/was more competent and more intelligent than Bush - which isn't saying much. Clinton's calling in life was to have been a carnival barker. I do find it very laughable to hear you blame everything on Clinton.
By the way, how did Clinton create the largest deficit in history?
Speaking of Clinton, I came up with a nickname for Hillary - Eva Peron.
