1. There were no WMDs to remove. Bush admits this, the US Military admits this, everyone but you apparently admits this by now. Impeachment is not about opposition to war but a political action designed to penalize a President who has committed serious crimes against the country. Were the war JUST and LEGAL but UNPOPULAR, this would be not be the issue.

2. The Sunnis and Al Qaeda are two different sets of people. Please pay attention to the players.

3. There is an insurgency in Iraq because the US of A invaded Iraq, disbanded the military and the bureacracy and left a power vacuum in its wake. Since we went in with only about 1/3rd the required number of troops AND we ignored basic security, we allowed the country to spin into chaos.

4. Bush is 100% responsible for the subsequent terrorism in Iraq.

5. Iraq is much too dangerous for NGOs to be camped out anywhere. After it became clear that the US could not provide adequate security, even the UN had to leave.

6. Having Shiites yammer in the press about the Sunnis only deepens the sectarian violence and the civil war in Iraq. What is the purpose of that?

7. This war has nothing whatsoever to do with Hawks and Doves. It has to do with morality and immorality, rule of law and chaos, competence and incompetence. The Bush administration is morally corrupt and, unfortunately, militarily incompetent. It is also financially both corrupt and incompetent.

8. Iraq in civil war is the entire ME in upheaval. Remember that we will be increasingly dependent on foreign oil so this affects us as well. In addition, Bush's incompetence in Iraq is fostering an entire generation of jihadists which sees us as the enemy.

9. Republicans have worked hard to earn the disrespect of the opposition, of the majority of the country and of the world. To support Bush and the Republicans in their efforts to undermine democracy and the rule of law in the US for their own personal profit is to be IMMORAL.
