Clinton and Nehru
I think Bill Clinton and Jawaharlal Nehru have one thing in common. People with certain ideological leanings hate (hate is a stronger term than I intend) them more than they deserve.
Or perhaps, centrists like myself, appreciate these gentlemen more than other presidents/prime minister.
That is not to say I agree with majority of their policies; as a matter of fact, I don’t. However, they managed to please a larger section of society during their time than displease, while still leading their respective countries with some sense of direction.
Update (posted after Patrix’s comment on this post): I should mention that I don’t consider Nehru as a good prime minister. However, I do consider Clinton to be a fairly good president. My main point is that those who criticize Nehru and Clinton do not acknowledge the things they did right.
