138. So their votes don't matter after all?
I have nothing against lawyers and politicians, and I have nothing against lawyers who are politicians. But it's not everything. (In fact, for many Americans, "politician" and "lawyer" are two professions that rank up there with "used car salesman" in trust and respect, fairly or not.)

There is no one "president school" or "leader school" -- there are certainly other courses through life that prepare people for great leadership. General Clark has done much more than make promises or show "symbolism." A million ethnic Albanians know that, the women and minorities he supported in the army know that, the people he taught, led and inspired through his career know that, the leaders he brought together through NATO know that, the people involved in the Dayton peace accords know that, people from Milosevic to BushCo neo-cons know that, and I'm sure if you think about it, you know it, too.
