... and why Impeachment proceedings need to begin against George W. Bush as soon as possible.
1. It won't force an end to US troops occupation of Iraq, but it should preclude more escalations and/or deployment extensions.
2. It would be the most powerful tool Congress has to prevent a unilateral, pre-emptive attack on Iran, by order of the President.
3. It would put the American people on the record, for the benefit of future generations, of their disapproval of the President's conduct while in office.
4. And most importantly, it would help such proceedings to become a habit for Americans.
There has not been a President of the United States in my lifetime who has not committed 'High Crimes and Misdemeanors' against humanity, the American citizenry, and the Constitution of the United States. Each one deserving far more punishment than the humiliation of Impeachment and/or removal from office.
Impeachment proceedings now against President Bush, especially following that of President Clinton, will provide the foundation for a powerful check on the 'extra-legal' and unconstitutional inclinations and temptations that the next elected President of the United States will certainly have.
Whoever she may be.

Likewise I do believe that international politics is most probably the most evil form of organised crime. I equally agree that impeachment may not bring an end to the manifestation of this evil in Iraq. I am much more in favour of prosecuting the perpatrators of these crime. The US has not subscribed to the International Criminal Court? Well, let us then establish one that does not require the criminals' permission.
