"The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation." -- John Kerry, October 9, 2002

 Hillary's Faustian bargain

By: Grace VuotoIfIf Hillary Clinton becomes president of the United States, this will be a defeat, not a victory for American women. The triumph of Mrs. Clinton will signal to the young ladies in this nation that victory--or achievement of whatever kind--is more important than integrity. Hillary will be yet another woman--quite typical of the high-profile women of 2007--for whom being famous and having the passing esteem of one’s contemporaries is more vital than being a person who stands on principle and upholds eternal verities. Let us reflect upon the women who captured national attention in 2007; we notice a long list of famous yet unworthy females: Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Anna Nicole Smith, Nicole Ritchie, Britney Spears and Jamie Lynn Spears. 2007 will be remembered as a landmark year in which the national news media was engrossed in celebrity gossip to a greater degree than ever before. The line between entertainment and news has become almost entirely blurred. And in this haze, it is mostly the scandalous behavior of women which grabs the public’s interestIt is no coincidence then that in 2007, it was also another scandal-ridden woman who dominated the headlines in the political arena. A USA Today-Gallup poll revealed that 18% of Americans chose Mrs. Clinton “as the most admired woman in America.” Granted, 18% is a very low figure. Yet, she nonetheless topped the list. Is there a significant difference between Mrs. Clinton and the other women who fascinated the public in 2007?Mrs. Clinton, like the other ladies, is a celebrity. She has fame out of all proportion to any lasting or valuable public achievement. Since 1992, when she stepped into the national limelight on 60 Minutes and lied about Bill’s affair with Gennifer Flowers, Hillary’s life has been distinguished by scandal and celebrity rather than brilliant public policy. She is more scandal-ridden than any of the women listed above--recall Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Chinagate, Lincoln-Bedroomgate, Monica Lewinsky and Pardongate. Most of her reign as First Lady was spent in a whirlwind of turmoil and ignominy. Does the average American know of any specific Hillary achievement during those years? There was much sound and fury culminating in very little public good. During her subsequent years as senator, she spent more time promoting her book, Living History, and raising funds for her presidential bid than in any other worthy enterprise. Mrs. Clinton’s career has consisted of climbing the ladder, grappling for power, fame and wealth without much social purpose.
