I am normally one of the last people to defend the Clinton's, but in this case I do not think that they are wrong. The problem is that Bill's charity is accepting donations from businesses that are the opposite of what the Clintons supposedly stand for. In my opinion, as long as the Clintons are not cozying up with these businesses, I think that they should take as much money as the businesses want to donate. If the money is going to a good cause then who cares? You could even use some of their money to give aid to the Tibetan monks. It's like Robin Hood- take from the rich and give to the poor.
I don't see any real dangers in what President Clinton is doing, because he is just raising funds for charity. Moreover, he's not running for office, although, he still my have influence in Washington, he is impotent in pressuring one of many private companies in a China to respect human rights in protest of the government.
