Rallying for Change

There were anti-war protests throughout the country this past weekend. I wish I could have been part of the activities, but it wasn't possible. Not this time.

I've read that the protesters also called for the impeachment of the Decider and his vice-president. Considering the grounds for Clinton's impeachment, I think we can safely say that this administration has done far worse. Willfully eroding our constitutional rights. Invading another country on a false pretext. Holding prisoners of war without granting them the rights of the Geneva Convention. And we all know there's more.

I don't know how realistic impeachment is. I know it should be done, but the Decider has beat Reagan as the "Teflon" president. He actually seems to be above the law. He expects that right. The media pushes for that right. And, sadly, the American people accept this.

What I pray for is an end to the occupation of Iraq and the abandonment of war plans against Iran and Syria. And, in 2008, I hope we have fair elections and Democratic leaders who are smart enough to give us a viable candidate.

Where there's life, there's always hope.
