Subject: Does anyone think? How could anyone not have known this years ago? Did the Bush administration think that invading an Islamic nation and killing tens of thousands of civilians would somehow mysteriously reduce terrorism? Many Americans are puzzled that there is sectarian violence in Iraq. Shiites and Sunnis have been fighting each other for centuries. What did this administration think would happen when it dissolved the Iraqi army and police? Does anyone in the Bush administration think at all? CEOs get fired for much less. How come nobody is raising the issue of impeachment? President Bush has seriously failed us as a leader. DW

RESPONSE: When both the executive and legislative branches of government are in the hands of the same party...in this case the Presidency and both houses of Congress, it is nearly impossible to impeach or even to investigate aspects of seemingly obvious abuse of power (e.g. excessive prices at the gas pump, no bid contracts, billions of dollars unaccounted for both in New Orleans, Iraq and Afghanistan). All too often the loyalty to party trumps the loyalty to one’s oath of office...not just at a local level.
