Tell you what...I prefer that and the occasional BJ in the WH to a perpetual state of war by Jerry Falwell's disciples in pursuit of some obscure, dubious "Mohamed was a terrorist" goal. I see they put the fear of Allah in his a$$

I have no problem with BJ's in the WH, and if I lived there, well ... And I think Falwell's statements were totally inappropriate. So I guess we agree on something.

What we probably don't agree on is I never want to see another compulsive liar in the White House; but it apparently didn't bother you having Clinton there.

I don't really care about BJ's in the white house (even though BJ's at your place of work can normally get you in trouble) but perjury by the president bothers me. And yes he probably should not have had to answer the question he lied about but he signed the law that allowed for such questioning. What is it good enough for everyone else but shouldn't apply to him?

As for Jerry Falwell's disciples or trying to claim that Mohamed was a terrorist I don't know what your talking about. Perhaps Falwell made such a claim but he isn't president. Neither Bush nor any of his cabinet members or senior advisors has made any such claim to my knowledge.

As for the more general idea of perpetual war, Clinton got us involved in more conflicts then Bush has despite the fact that that the threat to the US was somewhat less obvious during the Clinton years.
