Forty years ago, Martin Luther King described the US government as the "greatest purveyor of violence in the world today." What would he say about our world?
And, more importantly, why do Mrs Clinton and Mr Obama say nothing while the scholars on National Public Radio argue about the definition of torture. Does it not occur to our daring democrats that we don't need to define torture? Does it not concern them that there was no Iraq exit strategy because there was no plan to exit Iraq?
Check out McGovern's article on impeachment which was actually published in the Washington Post.
Then check out Dennis Kucinich.

Why I Believe Bush Must Go
Nixon Was Bad. These Guys Are Worse.
By George McGovern
Sunday, January 6, 2008; B01
As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.
After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my joining the impeachment effort would be seen as an expression of personal vengeance toward the president who had defeated me.
Today I have made a different choice.
Of course, there seems to be little bipartisan support for impeachment. The political scene is marked by narrow and sometimes superficial partisanship, especially among Republicans, and a lack of courage and statesmanship on the part of too many Democratic politicians. So the chances of a bipartisan impeachment and conviction are not promising.
