The President lied. Some of the members of congress who accused Bill of lying were also caught lying. Lying in 1998 didn't seem to have any limit. From the nation's politics to the world economy, domestic issues to impeachment hearings or global environments to US military attacks, lying politicians seemed to assume that whatever they said, we'd believe.
History tends to repeat itself.
Political deceptions of 1998 were similar to those of 1968. Pakistan then did its first test. After half a year of mainly symbolic sanctions against both countries, the US government quietly lifted them at the end of the year-and even offered to manage India's nuclear program, according to the Washington Post. Indonesia, a US ally, has been one of the worst human rights abusers and most corrupt countries in Asia. This is the notorious US-sponsored military training base for Central American military leaders.
