The Presidential Debates Between Bill Clinton And Dole
721 Words - 3 Pages.... went smoothly through the first minutes without a
lot of conflict but shortly into the debate Clinton makes his claim that "The
United States is better off now than it was four years ago". Dole attacks by
saying "He's (Clinton) better off than he was four years ago". Although it
cracked a few laughs, it showed how little respect he has for Clinton and how
desperate he is getting to resort to such cheesy remarks. The first several

Should The U.S. Accuse Middle Eastern Countries For Supporting Terrorism?

terrorism.
The United States harbors terrorists within its own national
boundaries. The United States encounters terrorism on her own land caused
