Steve,

<<, I have to say that Asian leaders wouldn't give a rat's ass if Clinton shagged every secretary in the White House.>>

Exactly...so why are they editorially rubbing there hands with glee and using the incident to underscore the general notion of a Western world wholly morally bankrupt? Because it helps to keep them in office. It focuses attention away from their own sins.

Their reaction underscores (to me) the growing divide.

<<How long will it be before guys like Mahathir are shouting "See! see! They did that to us too, and you wouldn't believe it! You said it was OUR fault"!

Already has done. I posted almost exactly your words a week or so ago on one of these threads. He has said "I told you so" every day for the last week.

Best,
Stitch
