The whole of the Western World got behind it. This madness seems to have begun at Kosovo. Long before Obama. At least that’s when something was obviously wrong.
The Lewinsky affair was in full swing.

I am still convinced that Bill Clinton let the Lewinsky scandal brew and fester for the purpose of keeping his selling of missile technology to China and giving nuclear technology to North Korea out of the news.
Think what would have happened if Bill had said, "Yeah, I did Monica. What of it?" There would have been some immediate hubbub, but the thing would have been forgotten by the next week. Instead, he lied and obfuscated about it, and got the country so wound up with that that the news of his acts of selling missile and nuclear technology to China and North Korea was quietly swept under the rug.
The grave crime of selling the nuclear technology is now bearing fruit, as we have seen since North Korea has now exploded five nuclear bombs. I do not think we have seen the aftermath of selling missile technology to China yet, but I think we will.
