Impeaching Bush
In today's Boston Globe, Ralph Nader and Kevin Zeese have written a column that makes a compelling case for impeaching Bush and Cheney over their fabricated pretexts justifying war with Iraq.
Because of the constitutional laws of succession, removing Bush by impeachment will not result in the neocons being ousted from power. But it would establish at least some principle of justice and accountability for those at the top who led us into this unnecessary war. Of course, in the real world, impeachment will never take place, for the obvious reason that the Republicans control Congress. But at the very least, the simple act of talking about this matter publicly serves as an important way of keep the subject of Bush's lies in the national discourse. It will continue to remind the public of Bush's crimes and prevent him from changing the subject. And it will help us hold Bush accountable for future actions in the remaining years of his Presidency.
