Clinton's GlobalInitiative.org sounds like he's setting up a

[Gloria]

counterweight to the crap Bush is shoveling at the world....

Plans 2 day meeting around the time the UN opens; discuss 4 topics, such as global warming, energy plans, etc. then each participant must commit to take some action in one of the areas they choose. Figures that in 10 years, some good can come out of it.

I think it's a pretty bold thing to do....his version of what a "world leader" is vs. Bush...

1. Big Dog wants to generate revenue by making the world

a better place as opposed to * who wants to tear the world up to make money!

[Maple]

2. Clinton wants to be

Sect'y General of the UN after Kofi Annan

3. I certainly would not mind if he were.

He'd be my boss.

[Maple]

4. Well Bush

would likely mind...a lot. :D

6. Let us dream --

Maybe Bush won't be in any position to decide in 18 months or so.

5. I don't think he'd turn it down, but it sounds like he's been

a very busy man, has the $ and opportunity to make a difference, and is trying to do so. Big Dawg sounds so good and makes the current prez look like a putz.

8. He's said it was his "dream job" already.

The last thing I saw in the press said something like, he didn't think it was pure fantasy, but it wasn't particularly likely.

Nice middle of the road take, don't you think?

[Andromeda]

7. Bill Clinton has a lot of good ideas.

At least he has the ability to think.

We're all part of the same family and I see a lot of good coming out of this.

[emcguffie]

9. No kidding.

Can you remember what it was like to have such a president?

Is this really not a bad dream?

10. I think it's www.Clinton GlobalInitiative.org (all one word but the

DU machine won't let me post it as such...

11. Message from President Clinton (announcing inaugural mtg. 9/15-17/05

It is my pleasure to announce the inaugural meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative to be held September 15-17, 2005, in New York City. This event, which will bring together King Abdullah II, President Leonel Fernandez Reyna, President Olusegun Obasanjo, Prime Minister Tony Blair, Secretary General Kofi Annan, Vice Premier Shimon Peres, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dr. Hernando de Soto, Sonia Gandhi, Rupert Murdoch, Richard Parsons, and an array of other distinguished and dedicated leaders, will coincide with and complement this fall's Millennium Summit of the U.N. General Assembly.

This nonpartisan conference will concentrate a diverse and select group of current and former heads of state, business leaders, noteworthy academicians, and key NGO representatives to identify immediate and pragmatic solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems. The workshops will focus on how to reduce poverty; use religion as a force for reconciliation and conflict resolution; implement new business strategies and technologies to combat climate change; and strengthen governance. Our meeting will emphasize dynamic group interaction to identify an agenda we can actually implement.

By identifying specific ways to address the challenges of our time and asking each participant to make a specific commitment to take action in one of the areas discussed, I believe this Initiative will prove to be a unique and effective forum for leaders and their communities around the world. What we begin during three days this September will continue throughout the year to come with coordinated implementation of our agenda.

We have an opportunity we can not afford to pass up--in just three days, we can begin to make a world of difference.

With best wishes,

12. I loved his message during the Interview

Because of the Internet it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with what the government is doing because people can make a difference globally. Or something to that effect..
