I think that "political etiquette" - how Pelosi and Reid feel that they have to move forward - taking Impeachment off the table, agreeing with the "Surge" - has this all wrong. I think that Impeachment MUST be on the table - not just for George, but for Dick, Condi, and on and on down the line (and, no, I have no idea how that will happen, aside from wholesale revolt of our citizens). But - we are allowing an utter, complete, lifetime failure to determine extremely relevant future courses of so many things - Iraq, the Environment, etc...
If we separate out the two factors - of course we can't just walk away from Iraq, since it is the corruption, misjudgement, and errors of our current regime that put us there. But, thinking of two things - that the best indication of future performance is past performance (and a lifetime of failure will only bring more failure) - and that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results (which covers both what we are doing in Iraq, as well as my first point) - this just cannot go on. I think that we get so caught up in the detail - and have such short attention spans - that people are missing the big picture. And a horrific, ugly picture it is.
Has people's outrage now just atrophied into complete resignation? Boredom?
