One point that is interesting is the way something as insignificant as Clinton lying about sex could have been blown up into an impeachment hearing based on the continual pursuit of the former president in order to persuade public opinion. This manipulation of the media, which we see again here with the BUSH administration, in "sexing up" the case for War, seems to be a commonplace tactic employed by the Republican Party. It is unfortunate that despite the awareness that these types of tactics have been used in the past by the Republication party in its attempts at character assassination there is sad naivete by the American public to leave the administration of government in the hands of government leaders without getting involved in the "business" of government. I think the European countries do not share this same naivete as they have a more natural suspicion of government and its activities.
