I wrote this elsewhere as part of a reply to a claim that: "only perjury (and related) charges" demonstrate that this is no different to the way Starr went after Clinton. It's just been cleaned up a little to let it stand alone.
There is one huge glaring difference between the current Whitehouse scandal and the Monica Lewinski affair. Maybe it has been mentioned before, but if so I missed it. (Too bloody many words here. Too bloody few in places where they can really do some good.)
With Clinton, the only person ever on trial or accused of wrongdoing was William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton the man.
Not so this time arroud.
This time it is the very office of: The President of The United States of America itself which stands multiply accused (or all but accused) of some of the worst maleafances imaginable. Not just before it's own people, but before the entire people of the world.
This is the truly frightening, evil, tragic (adjectives fail me) underbelly of this whole affair.
It is ubundantly clear from the available evidence that the War in Iraq was engineered by members of this administration for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism and/or National Securtiy, and in all likelyhood was motivated primarily for reasons of monetary profit.
The Presidency of the United States of America been turned from being the ultimate embodiment of it's people to nothing more that the front man for (please excuse the cliche) a bunch of power mad plutocrats.
