well, brain if we find those weapons of mass destruction, than well the world will know the truth and that'd be good sort of.
If we found them, I bet some countries would be afraid deep down inside...

on a side note..........
We might have war with Syria,Russia, and North Korea!

bronto, are you worried about hurting the other weapon's feeling for not considering them of mass destruction?

Anyway, if we do find them it will make the US perhaps a bit better off, but it certainly won't free them of problems.

If they don't...I suppose it will make it worse, but the Bush Administration has shifted reasoning for the war so often that they can just claim that their real reason was to stop Saddam from doing awful things to his people, something that isn't really in question.  This hodgepodging of reason is one of the primary weaknesses in the Bush administrations war reasoning and why so many countries objected, but after the fact the same hodgepodging is a benefit in that if one reason falls through the cracks you still have the others.  It is why, regardless of what happens I don't think it has a significant impact on the opinion of the war, you either thought it was justified, and nothing will make it seem not to be, or you think it wasn't justified and nothing will make it seem to be.

Well, Bush has broken numerous international laws which are technically supposed to supercede domestic laws. However, whether or not he is impeachable on an illegal war is dicey at best. There would need to be a sea change in this country's attitude before congress would think about going after Bush on anything they had unless it was really juicy.

If the US doesn't find WMD in Iraq, they'll probably claim that Tom Daschle and Hillary Clinton are hiding them in Paris and Hollywood.

But honestly, the white house threw out so many possible reasons for this war that they will claim it was just even if this reason (supposedly the main reason) falls through. I really think that if it did happen, our international reputation would go from immoral to just plain foolhardy. The only logical plan were this to happen IMO would be to apologize to the world, withdraw all other mideast plans, and turn Iraq over to the UN. And Bush should take bukkake from Schroder, Chirac, and Putin.

Unless Bush really fucks up, there is no way to legally get him out of office early. And by really fucks up, I mean something like lying under oath.

On a totally unrelated note, Brain, they had very solid grounds on which to impeach Clinton. He was just too popular for the country to realize that he was a liar.

Ace, I don't care about the laws, I'd rather have a President lying about his private life than a President lying in order to wage an illegal war.

Brain, here in Colorado Springs they had a recall election petition going but it fell though...don't know if that works for President because technically we didn't elect him (the public doesn't actually elect the president, the electoral college does).

ahahaha take a joke guys. i dont think that chirac, schroder, or especially putin are very good leaders either. after all, its just bukkake everyone does it right?

abe, i know in practice no one seriously puts international laws ahead of domestic laws but in the agreements under which we set up internationally apply on a larger scale and therefore supercede domestic laws. my international relations prof talks about it all the time. and the things you said about international law could be said for domestic law too: no system of laws ever stays completely static, they are always changing. domestic laws can be interpreted two ways as well.

and i agree, barring some information i don't know bush is not impeachable, no one thus far has brought up what he has done that makes him impeachable and i wasnt the one that started the topic.
