Both of the Sides are the Same

womzillaLast night, I was trying to think of ways in which Bill Clinton (and Al Gore as his right-hand man) were on the same moral level as Rutherford Bush and Dick Cheney. Specifically, I was trying to remember if Clinton ever openly supported a military coup against a democratically elected leader of a nation. Bush has done so twice since Sept. 11th, in Venezuela and in Haiti, and possibly other times I'm not thinking of.
I suppose that with a deep stretch, one could view USA/NATO support for the Kosovars against the Serbian government could be counted that way, but that's really pushing it. And Clinton stumbled into the wrong side of the worst genocide of the 1990s, when the US ended up providing support to the refugee camps after Rwanda, which were run by included the architects of the genocide.
Anything else?
