He voted for Bush I in '88, Clinton in '92 and '96.

The end of the Cold War in '91 made the difference. Says he saw that the Repubs had no direction in a post-Soviet world. They couldn't adapt, and wanted to maintain the confrontational, chest-beating, us-or-them attitude toward the nations trying to emerge from Soviet domination.

The world changes. Men like Clark change with it.

Personally, I think maybe the fact that Clinton was a home-boy caused him to listen more closely. And then too, he would have just made his second star before the '92 election. More senior rank gives you a different perspective on the use of military force. Either way, Clark admits to be being moved by Clinton's vision for America and the world.
