Well, I'm in favour of an impeachment too, if only to show the USA constitution in action. Congress retains the right to turf the rogues out of the White House. Nixon went, Clinton was too popular to risk messing with [the ladies thought he was great and a lot of others did too - he seemed to do a lot better at getting people smiling and talking than GeorgeW can and he seemed to have a lot between his ears, even if a lot of it was linked directly to his gonads]. But I don't think Congress will be of a mind to turf out King George given the current political winds in the USA. Heck, the difficulty with the last election was enough for Congress to say "Let's have another go at it and this time, really push those chads outa there". But they have bigger fish to fry. Thanks for the links. It was me, way back in 1988 who predicted a bullet through the middle east [and with exactly those words]. For a decade I have maintained that the fantastic oil company profits from Iraq's oil being off the market might not be the main driving force of the confrontation with Saddam, but as with any biasing influence, they are a substantial factor [probably sufficient to make a person feel all moral about defending the 'freedom' of Kuwait]. I've been a cynical observer of political machinations for 35 years now. The USA has brought a lot of grief on itself by ignorant treatment of other people. Now Iraq has brought a lot of grief on itself by its treatment of other people. I'd rather have GeorgeW as King Kong than Saddam. He can always be turfed out next election. A spot of colonisation is a good idea. That'll help settle the Jihad down a bit. It'll make other countries such as Libya, Pakistan [when their leaders change], Iran, Indonesia, Syria and Saudi Arabia a bit more circumspect about allowing Jihad to thrive in their Madrassas. Abu Nidal won't be given a base for operations. Funding for suicide bombers will be risky. I don't agree that USA troops in the land of Mecca is justification for destroying the Twin Towers and a lot more besides. Especially since the current bosses in Saudi Arabia allowed them. Mqurice
