I agree with you that he is neither stupid nor the mastermind, and yes, those other Presidents you mentioned are mass murderers, except FDR, because the war was already happening and the US was dragged into it. Citing LBJ is especially poignant, because Iraq is Vietnam II, preemption under false pretenses. Gulf of Tonkin anyone?
But I fail to see any point being expressed in your comment regarding impeachment except that Bush is not stupid nor a mastermind.
And anyone who thinks he is stupid should google his performance on interviews before he came to the national stage. Articulate, cogent, long sentences. In other words, he's a better actor now than even Reagan was when he was in office. Because let's not forget that Bush is a descendant of a political dynasty with deep roots and education in the Northeast, where the so-called liberals live.
Impeachment is a disruption, but that's the point. There's never a good time for impeachment, which is why it is so grave. Personally, I believe it would help us join the civilized world, because it would attest to our belief in our nation being one of laws. I mean, preemption is a terrible concept, a war-mongerer's concept. So a disruption would be most welcome, especially considering 35 articles (each of which are pretty weighty in their own right) is only the tip of the iceberg. Kucinich vows to come back with even more articles the longer HJC stalls.
Plus, I hate to think that the man stood for four hours in an empty House floor droning on and on to an irritated Speaker about such important charges and to have nothing come of it when the evidence behind the charges are so overwhelming. He's doing what he's supposed to be doing; she isn't. (The fact that they are both Democrats only highlights the absurdity of political faction affiliations in the face of real issues.) So I wrote my representatives and let them have my two cents on the matter. I'm sure I'm not the only one who did, and I hope others who haven't yet, do so.
Cynicism, apathy and cheap skepticism among us ordinary citizens is exactly what those who abuse their power want, so we should get involved in the war against all this executive overreaching.
