I respect your opinions on stocks and also on National Affairs having read this post on Clinton. Entrapment and then accusations expecting him to lie actually since he allegedly had done it with P. Jones. He really didn't know how much they had....and like most human beings.... with all our foibles..he tried to protect his family, his friends and he just dug himself into a hole from which he could not extricate himself... What would anyone of us have done in a similar situation. Walk in his shoes. Sad thing to have happened... Sadder still the bombing where so many poor defenseless... civilians are suffering as they have from the embargo. I would hope in this new year we could adopt a more humanitarian position...and do more of the humanitarian things about which IKE often speaks Having just been two weeks in the Islam World, I think that our bombing during Ramadam is an awful mistake.....IMHO only.... SUMA

Well, I don't think the Republicans have a slam dunk to impeach Clinton in the Senate, because they need 67 votes and bipartisanship may not be the order of the day. Personally, I'm amazed at the level of hatred a certain faction of our people and leaders have for Clinton. He certainly strikes a chord in some people that I'm not affected by at all. To me, he's a guy that is able to compromise and keep everyone reasonably happy, isn't that what a politician is supposed to do? About the lying stuff, who cares? He lied about getting a well.. you know. What else could he lie about that would possibly matter? Lie about meeting with world leaders? Lie about bombing Iraq? What are people so worried he's going to lie about? Maybe he has the real goods on the Roswell, NM alien capture and he's lying about it. I think this whole thing is national embarassment, and I have growing disdain for those staunch Clinton haters. As far as the republicans, they are suffering severe collatoral damage and Clinton is still there. So far, we have Newt Gingrich, and Livingstone gone, and perhaps still counting when the next election rolls around. Good thing they had a speaker in reserve who hasn't cheated on his wife, which seems to be the standard today for our leaders.
