While I agree that crime did fall in the country, in my time in New York City during Guiliani's administration, I've seen robbers finally go to jail and not be endorsed like what Dinkins did, I have to say that the "quasi-fascists" techniques worked and even if the crime rate was falling in the country, Giuliani's efforts were effective in putting many people in jail and lowering crime in New York.
I'd suggest we apply his method of fighting crime to the entire country.
Ignoring the calls of him being racists when the police patrols were all over black neiborhoods, even though the damn media was on it like crazy and still are on it causing problems for Bloomberg. I see him as a pragmatic realists, if he put Al Sharpton in jail then that would make him the greatest American I've ever known.
