The hard thing is that all presidents have to pick their battles at home. I seem to remember quite a few things that administrations have tried to put throug that COngress wouldn't budge on. I'm not saying that this is what happened here, but the fact is that the President does not have absolute power, as much as many of them would wish it. And there is something to be said about weighing the cost and consequences. I'm absolutely against land minds, but if a treaty has provisions in it that are frivolous or don't take into account certain needs of countries that wish to sign it, the head of a nation has to take that into consideration. I do not think that Clinton was a classic Liberal, but neither do I think he was a Conservative.
