The era of bad feeling

Article Abstract:

President Bill Clinton was impeached by the House on Dec 19, 1998 for engaging in an inappropriate relationship with the former White House intern Monica Lewinsky while he was committing the US to strike against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in the Operation Desert Fox. Despite the political turmoil, most Americans were busy Christmas shopping and enjoying the best economic times in the history of the country.

Why the U.S. should bomb ... why bombing is a bad idea

Article Abstract:

One side argues that Saddam Hussein is breaking the terms of the 1991 gulf-war peace agreement. The cease fire demanded that Saddam Hussein give inspectors access to all sites. Failure to comply with any UN demands is an act of war. However, another position questions whether bombing Iraq accomplishes anything. It will not destroy Iraq's capacity to manufacture weapons of mass destruction.
