55 percent of the American people think President Bill Clinton is not an effective world leader. According to a new poll 99 percent of the world leaders agree with the American people's assessment. It is time for Bill Clinton to turn his attention away from his constant campaign for President and to the task of being the President. And a large part of that task is dealing with foreign policy.

We cannot blame Warren Christopher for the problems that bedevil Bill Clinton. We can only hope that the President becomes interested in doing his job before we get ourselves into a real foreign policy crisis.
