    In any case, I don't see how lying before the UN as to get world support on false grounds for a war which will cause massive casualties (in modern wars 70 percent or so of the victims is civilians) is any different moraly than, again, lying about his private matters (be it in court or not).

    Infact I'd say it's worse.

    Legally it's a different matter I'm sure.

    edit: your edit about his "private parts" got to me. . . editet out

    I am rather sure that more than a few lies make it before the UN across the board.

    As is the case of the courts. Still the difference between the consequence of the two lies is clear; human lives.

    So, if you get rid of one for lieing, should you not get rid of the others that have and are still lieing as well? Methinks the halls of the UN would be mighty empty than.

    P.S., I just realized my sig humps to the beat of Gun's N Roses "Welcome To The Jungle"....

    Quite what the purient obsession with the sexual activities of our leaders has to do with the price of fish is anybodies guess. It seems to be a peculiarly Puritan thing though and is common in the UK also. The French tend to take a dim view of politicians that do not indulge in such activities, suspecting them of taking an unhealthy interest in politics and power.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Taken from BBC News, December 19, 1998:

    "William Jefferson Clinton has become only the second president in the history of the United States to be impeached.

    The first vote was 228 to 206 in favour of impeaching President Clinton for perjury in front of a grand jury. Congressmen also passed another charge on obstruction of justice by 221 to 212.

    However, he will not yet be removed from office.

    Both votes were split down partisan lines, with only five Republicans abandoning their party in the first instance.

    The House also voted down two other articles which accused Mr Clinton of perjury in the Paula Jones civil case and abuse of power.

    On a count of 435 members, 218 votes are needed for a majority.

    Earlier, the White House affirmed that Mr Clinton will not resign in the event of an impeachment vote. He is expected to address the American people later on Saturday.

    Constitutional procedure states that Mr Clinton must now go to the Senate for a full-scale trial that could last anything between a few days and several months."
