Actually, Spaw, I became incredibly disillusioned with Bill Clinton, because early on, he actually was silent, and even complicit in the spread of that lie. And he did it to help Hillary get elected to Congress. But there were other witnesses to that event who challenged this version, and he has eventually come around to being more honest about it. I used to see him in a very different light, but now I see him and Hillary both as political opportunists who will tell any kind of lie to gain power. People say that the difference between Clinton and Bush is that when Bush lied, people died. Well, when Clinton helped to promote this lie, a lot of people died.

But it is a fact that Barak was the one who ended it (to spend more time campaigning to stay in office), and Arafat is on record as wanting to keep the process going.
