...seek peace, and peace requires long and arduous discussions, discussions that cannot be carried out at summits. Peace may bring such meetings, but such meetings cannot bring peace. We are enemies who have been at war for more than 40 years. We have martyrs and devastated property; our lands are occupied, and millions of our people are displaced.

The second, the 14-min. biographical film that preceded Clinton's acceptance speech, began the arduous task of creating empathy for a candidate carrying enough political baggage to fill a container ship. The third, the acceptance address itself -- well crafted and eloquently delivered, if a bit long -- was most significant for its contemptuous strikes at Bush. Clinton's mocking disparagement of Bush's disdain for "the vision...
