<<There are a lot more important issues to discuss and resolve. >> Maybe, maybe not, depends on your point of view. Clinton's integrity and believability are central to his ability to perform his office. If no one believes him, they will be unwilling to cooperate with him in developing meaningful domestic or foreign policy. For example, in Iraq, we push for sanctions and tough inspections policies (we were the ones that insisted the palaces be open for inspection), but behind the scenes we stop the inspections from taking place. Another example related to domestic policy - let's say you made a deal with the President to keep spending under control in order to help pass a balanced budget, and then the President threatened to bring government to a halt if you don't increase your current spending propsals beyond the limits you previously agreed to. The questions surrounding the President's integrity and truthfulness are absolutely central to resolution of the other issues you wish to have discussed.
