Should America impeach President Bush?
Immpeachement should only be the beginning
Rachel Matecki
Issue date: 3/30/07 Section: Opinion
Our president is on a high horse, and he needs to be knocked from it. What happened to the war against terror? It seems that our leader has completely lost sight of the real reason our men and women are fighting for our country overseas. We are basically going to war alone. You can wish and hope that things could be different, but they aren't. We need a leader that is true to his or herself and true to our nation. Our leader needs to listen to the rest of the world's wants and needs while also informing others about what our nation calls for.
Thirty-five years ago, according to BBC, Israel won a war in six days. How many of you are aware that the war in Iraq has actually surpassed the amount of time needed to work things out in WWII? We need someone to patch things up with the rest of the world, not treat it as inferior. If Bush had started this process earlier, we may have had more allied support, but he has turned some of our traditional friends against us, making it harder for our nation to manage concerns such as Iraq and Iran, not to mention threats that will undoubtedly surface years down the road.
We need to clean up the mess we have left throughout the world, and what better way to do so than appoint someone who actually knows what he or she is doing? It doesn't matter if the presidential election is next year. We need all the help we can get. Electing someone new as soon as possible would give us more time to allow ourselves to wipe the slate clean of this snobby, deceitful attitude and repair the collection of broken promises our current president has presented to the rest of the world.

We must seek out leaders that value truthfulness and integrity if we are to restore our democracy and country to its greatness. Our democracy is undermined when our leaders try to misled and manipulate us with deceitful ways. (Continued…)

My compliments to Rachel on her essay. It was presented in a reasoned and logical fashion, something truly missing in today's political discourse.
My personal belief is that George Bush has done permanent damage to the foreign policy of the US. (Continued…)

Impeaching Bush would be doing the entire world a huge favor! Bush is a terrible President, but an excellent liar and sneak! We need a leader who will make people proud to be Americans! Bush is NOT that person!

The only problem with impeachment of "shrub" is that we will then be at the mercy of Cheney. That would be a fate worse than death to this country. The likelihood of both being impeached is non-existent. (Continued…)

We need to impeach both Bush and Cheney.Then they need to be held accountable for what they have done. A year is way too long to wait. How many U.S. troops will die, and how many innocent Iraqis will die before they are stopped?

You can bet your boots Bush and Cheney both needs to be impeached. Clinton didn't do near the terrible things that Bush has done. Someone made a horrible mistake when they voted those two into office. (Continued…)
