It was under Clinton's watched that the Chinese Embassy was bombed, but I think laying that at his feet is a bit of a stretch. However he did bomb the Asperin Factory in Sudan at the sametime he went after Osama's camp in Afganistan. Alot of people that was a "Wag The Dog" thing.

Nixon bombed North Vietnam in order to force the North Vietnamese to the peace table, so they could argue about what the shape of the table should be for several months. I'm trying to figure out what was illegal about his actions though since we were at war at the time... well at least technically, though we never formally declared war on North Vietnam.
