Reply #94: Impeachment will end the war quicker

[Senator]

But the first moral, patriotic option is to end the war crimes.

Regarding what "the leadership...is well aware of," I can only urge you to go talk to one of them. They're just people. No different from you and me. There is no greater wisdom or intelligence among them -- individually or as a group. There is no privileged font of information to which they have access. They are at the mercy of the same Euphemedia we all are.

This is why they can be co-opted into a "groupthink" by those who would terrorize our nation into wars. And how they can consider stolen elections something that need not be stood against. They can be convinced to change their minds and do the right thing -- like Senator Boxer was on January 6th, 2005.

And we need to do it because impeachment is the first step in solving the problem of the war. The biggest obstacle to ending the war is the unlawful regime. We have a far better chance of getting 15 GOP Senators to defend the Constitution (and themselves against a Dem President with these newly-claimed powers) than we have of getting the bush gang to admit failure in Iraq and responsibility for the war crimes committed in all our names.

This (p)residency is a cancer on the nation. We tolerate it at our continuing peril and disgrace.
