>>If Pres. Clinton finishes his term, I'll do everything within my power to support those who want him to make public acknowledgements (especially in regard to children) of the importance of honesty in all areas of a person's life.<< Ann, I have serious doubts that many in this country would be interested in hearing BC expound on the virtue of honesty in light of the fact that the majority in this country consider him a liar. Reminds me of OJ wanting to talk to womens' groups about domestic violence after he was found not guilty of murdering his ex-wife in a misguided effort to "rehabilitate" his public image. bp bp

<<The message the U.N. seems to have relayed by their standing ovation was that they still respect his leadership>> They may, but many Americans don't. The decision to bomb the factory in the Sudan is even being questioned by Jimmy Carter, at least to the extent that he feels it should be investigated. Every decision made by Clinton for the forseeable future will be questioned this way. Also, although they profess to support him, the foreign leaders will know that they cannot trust what Clinton says, since he has made it very apparent that, even under oath, truth is variable. In other words, don't bet the future of your country on any promises made by the U.S. Many of his domestic supporters are well aware of this, too. Clinton has backed down or failed to perform on many promises made to Democrats in Congress as well as the public at large, in relation to taxes, welfare reform, health care and numerous other issues. Situational ethics are not a good foundation for running a government. I would rather have a person of principle than a person of positions. Principles really don't change, positions all too easily do. You know what to expect from a person with principles, even if you don't agree with them, but you never know what to expect from a person that adopts positions not based on principle.
