President Bill Clinton was impeached by a Republican-controlled
Congress for lying about sex. President George W. Bush and aides lied
the United States into a stupid, unnecessary colonial war that has so
far killed more than 305 Americans and seriously wounded more than
1,400. It has also cost many thousands of Iraqi dead, and $1 billion
US weekly.
Lying about sex is an impeachable offence; lying the nation into war
apparently is not.
I was no Clinton fan, but give me his iffy morals any day over Bush's Mussolini-like strutting. Sen. Edward Kennedy is absolutely correct
when he calls Bush's Iraq war a "fraud" concocted to win the next
elections.
A fraud and an epic blunder.
Last week, Bush received a glacial and scornful reception at the
United Nations that symbolized the world's contempt and disgust for
his administration. Not since Nikita Khrushchev pounded his shoe on
the speaker's rostrum has a major leader so embarrassed himself and
his nation before the world body.

P.S. Our 'enemies' don't hate the American people, but they do hate
the awful things that some of our political leaders have do.
