4. If Clinton could have spend his entire term doing his job

as president instead of defending himself from incessant RW attacks.
Hell, just the money wasted on all the fruitless investigations of his personal life would have paid for a thousand more CIA and FBI agents.

However, the Repugs did find out that he liked women, which up to then no one even suspected.

5. If Bush had warned the airlines about the August 6 memo.

6. If ATC had been warned about the threat of hijackings.

Airport security. Bigtime.
