Totally unimportant.

178 countries + Seattle Wa thought otherwise.

The fact is that OPEC sees US drilling as a threat to their immediate profits and responded accordingly.

OPEC drills for crude. We were described as being in a crisis relative to refineries (tm Bush/Cheney, early 2001). After their comments, the price of gas spiked up dramatically, enough for congress to call hearings. . Your view would confirm that these two guys mis-represented the problem (likely a campaign payback to big oil), since in a couple of short months it has abated.

To me, an assault occurs when a man uses his power to take advantage of an unsuspecting woman.

I don't want to get into defending what these guys did...it is clearly not defensible. But I would say that your descriptions are exaggerations and don't accurately characterize Lewinsky, for example.
