Bill Clinton can't fix deeply rooted problems. I am sorry, that is a crazy idea. Problems presidents have failed at fixing for decades. If Bill could have worked out a peace process, why didn't he, he had 8 years? Let's stop acting as if that man is a miracle worker, he isn't.

Carter helped broker peace between Israel and Egypt. Clinton made a very significant contribution to the Good Friday Agreement. Both have excellent background!

What about George Mitchell as well; or would he maybe feel that he's already 'done his time' there?
