A view from the other side of the world (from an editorial in the "Deccan Herald") :

The partisanship can prove eventful also because President Clinton's determination to stay on in office will expose the growing rift between a section of the legislature, i.e. the Republican-dominated Congress, and the people, with whom the President is clearly popular.

Mr Clinton has proved a charismatic and functional chief executive presiding over a booming economy. At the same time, he has tried to preserve his social sector priorities. His supporters are willing to tolerate his ''flaws'' and human ''imperfections''. As their representatives, can a section of the legislature, even if it is in the majority, decide it knows best?

Opinion polls do not bear out any popular urge to have the President punished. Mrs Clinton's call for reconciliation will probably go down better with the American people than the one-sided onslaught on a President who has (largely) admitted his mistakes and endured humiliation. He is already being described as a President who could redefine the constitutional relationship between the executive and the legislature as long as that is based on the popular will.

Be sure to mail yourself a copy of Strunk's "Elements of Style".

<<<As George Soros says, God is a creation of man.>>>

Yeah, keep sticking with the men of character. Larry Flynt, George Soros.

<<<You who want to make laws based on some superstition are indeed ignorant. >>>

Maybe, but you voted according to superstition so what's the difference.
