He lied when he ran for office saying he would do everything to keep us out of the war because he was trying to come up with a way to get us in. His lies cost countless of American lives. However, I am glad he lied and I am glad he did what he did. Although I don't think Bush lied, I am glad he took us to war against Iraq.

Exactly my point. OTOH, Clinton mistook Roosevelt's example of lying to rationalize perjury about things with inconsequential ends. His puerility overwhelmed his substantive potential.
Next time you play poker with Sidd, try to talk some sense (like the above) into him.
