I must admit I do not fully understand the impeachment process, but the thing that puzzles me the most is this: how is it that one man comes close to being impeached because of infidelity to his wife and now the man who currently sits in the White House can get away with lying to Congress and the American people about weapons that do not and never did exist, can call those of us who do not agree with him traitors, can knowingly condone torture of prisoners being held by this government and now wants to rewrite the Geneva Conventions to suit his own actions and no one is calling for his impeachment?

For almost 60 years this and every country who adheres to the principles of the Geneva Conventions understood what it meant.

Now he wants to "clarify" it? He wants to hold for ransom this country's ability to interrogate prisoners to find out information that might prevent another attack against our citizens until he gets his way. How many of you know that? How many of you heard him say that if he doesn't get to "clarify" Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions he will suspend the interrogations?

How dare him!

I have heard people call him childish for that remark.

Make no mistake, this is not a 2 year-old holding his breath until he gets his candy.

This is a man with a lot of power saying that if we don't let him do it his way, he's going to let "them" attack us.

This is the man so many consider to be the best man to fight terrorism? And tell me please, what is going on with the people in the Senate and House of Representatives who know he is wrong? When he should be tried for war crimes, why is no one even talking impeachment? What hold does he or his friends have on the rest of the people in our government?

When Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called Bush "the devil" U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said that Chavez had the right to express his opinion, adding it was "too bad the people of Venezuela don't have free speech."

By that he implied that the people of this country do enjoy free speech. Tell that to the Dixie Chicks whose livelihood, lives and the lives of their families were repeatedly threatened simply because one of them said that she was embarrassed that Bush was from her home state.

It seems that the only people in this country who truly enjoy free speech are those who agree with everything George W. Bush says.

The rest of us are expected to keep our mouths shut or we are branded traitors and supporters of terrorists. Well I am not a traitor or a supporter of terrorists and I for one cannot in all good conscious sit here and say nothing while he brings our great nation down to the level of the terrorists he claims to be protecting us from. I can no longer sit here with my mouth shut.

By the way, if infidelity was an impeachable offense we would have had a lot more presidents impeached and many of those would have been Republican. Sherry Jensen Thousand Oaks
