Your conclusion, that we are ruled by people who would be Kings, from Versailles on the Potomac, is the stongest reason that Bush must be impeached.
Bush's list of crimes is extensive. One can argue that many other countries engage in torture, spying on their citizens, and illegal detention. The difference in Bush's case is that we in the Western world gave up the idea that the monarchy would be able to impose its will on the people, and that the King would be above the law. When King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215 at Runnymeade, civilization took a giant step towards making all men equal. Bush has reversed almost 800 years of histroy, and progress.
If Bush is not impeached, the next fearless leader will have the powers of a monarch. How many of us want to be subject to the whims of one man in charge of the nation?
For the sake of humanity, and the advancement of society, Impeach Bush. Do it now!
