I'd say it's not
just Clinton, or the US for that matter, but politicians the world over. If the various militaries were given the resources necessary and the handcuffs removed, then a hell of a lot of the problems of today wouldn't exist.
However, we may run the risk of loosing freedoms and so on (as if the people who are dying now give a rats about that!), so....
Generalising somewhat, I'd have to say that pretty much the entire middle east and Africa, as well as parts of Asia and South and Central America, will always have troubles in one form or another. Sure other countries can send in the troops for a while and quieten things down, but once they pull out, chances are it'll all start up again. Might take a month, a year or more, but unless the underlying causes, which are often centries or millenia old are dealt with, no amount of troops is going to permanently solve things.
