>A good synopsis and series of predictions. Given this is key. I believe the revelations will continue and the damage will be more than your predictions.< Well. Admittedly I am by nature a pessimist, but I think the facts support my general disposition (no doubt all pessimists believe here as I do - <g>). >The man has a lot to hide and there is an army looking for more. Starr has more to show for the 40+ mil. Will the next mantra be to call off Starr? The sexual diversion / side track will get old soon.< I think the 40 million is already money well spent. Starr has gotten several indictments and forced the entire literate world to openly acknowledge that the American President is a liar and law-breaker. The United States now has a choice to either take this information and do what legal and moral principle command they do, or merely flow along with the foolish results of legal and moral disorder (my guess is, they will firmly embrace the latter option while feigning an embrace of the former one). >I believe we can survive six more months of ineffective leadership but two years will do serious harm to the nation. The nature of the millenium and current instabilities requires international leadership if only by example. Clinton ran on a domestic platform. He is not up to the task especially in his weakened state.< The damage is done and irrevocable. To militate against the damage caused by these circumstances, impeachment is merely a start. If nothing is done, the pain required to weigh against these current ills will become almost exponentially greater with each passing year. >What type of withdrawal symptoms will he exhibit when he does not get his sexual fixes? If we have to live with this guy we would probably be better off giving him a harem. We would be far better off if he were to resign tomorrow. There is another elected official who can take his place.< "Sick Willy" (as a friend of mine refers to him). Yes, but I think the country will have to endure two more years of him. The best America can hope for is that he remains weakened for two more years. Even this is a vain hope, as I have just now seen the shriveled form of William Clinton today (Sat, 9/12/1998) in his weekly address, already beginning its expected rise from the ashes of his presidency. >I believe the issues go beyond the political and legal aspects.< Yes but you see, my friend, you had to spend at least a few minutes in thought to arrive at this incontrovertible conclusion, and in the grand scheme of things, you are a rarity. In America alone we are dealing with some 260 million people, most of whom do not spend a total of three hours in serious thought about anything in their entire lives (and this is probably no exaggeration). In France, the situation is far more serious <g>. >Legally accurate ...get real. What would it have been if he said he had sex?? an illegal statement!!..impeachable?? What we need is a good dose of honor and ethics from our leaders. If that means two thirds of Washington is sent packing then so be it.< But getting honor from a politician is about as possible as creating an appetizing gourmet dinner from skunk. It is perhaps possible, but only after a near miraculous event of some sort.
