It would be his personal life if it had occured in a motel. Since it happened at his desk in the oval office, I'd say that was his PROFESSIONAL life. And there are some implications...blackmail potential for one, lying to the American people for two, and the fact that young teenagers now use Bill as an excuse to have oral sex for three.
Compare to war...of course not. The war is annother issue but as a matter of fact...it has been suggested that there WAS a relationship between the scandal and war. When impeachment talks started...Bill fired his cruise missle (pun intended). And the opposite, as several have suggested..his administration may have held back taking certain anti-terrorist actions because they did not want to be perceived as "Wagging the DOG". Hard to know....there is so much they did not do!
Believe me, given that he is married to Hillary, I fully understand his desire to get some action. God knows he deserved it! But as a minimum, he needed to keep his pants up in the big round room..
