I'm patient for the wheels of international justice to move...and they will in a far better fashion than our current political process will.

Please understand, I am not against moving ahead with articles of impeachment...but I go with the belief that "if you shoot the king, you need to kill him"...meaning unless there's a conviction in the Senate, an impeachment is an empty and possibly destructive process in many ways.

Gathering the evidence needs to be done through legal channels...such as civil suits...that can move forward faster and those findings are just as easily transfered to both the Congress and International Courts for further action. Until now, it's only been the independent prosecutions of Libby, Cunningham, Ney and others that have begun to unravel the large corrupt onion...with many layers still remaining until we get to booosh & cheney.

Wilson's suit opens the door to discoveries that will compell Cheney and probably booosh to tesify under oath in a deposition. Also it'll force Rove and many others involved with the sliming of "Wilson's wife" that could easily help Mr. Fitzgerald go onto removing the sand from the umpire's eyes and take direct aim at the Executive. If not Fitz, then there's plenty of fodder for both Conyers and Waxman to procede with.

The impeachment mechanism was intended to keep a President in check...not to be used as a partisan weapon that gets tossed around every four years. Sadly, the definition and process has been cheapened and sensationalized to where it become a media circus centered around the theme of "Democrats attempting to overturn an election" (Democrats said the same during Clinton).

We still have little idea of the extent of the genocide and international crimes that have been committed in Iraq, just as we didn't get the full scope in Germany or the Balkans until after hostilities ceased. This means the withdrawl of our military...something I believe is of far more important work and attention by both the House & Seante.

Cheers...and thank you for your thoughtful reply.
