A necessary stepSunday, July 08, 2007 by Dave Winer. The NY Times calls for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. There's nothing amazing about this piece, except it's on the road to getting out of the mess in Iraq. It won't change anything with the President, but it will change the discussion to how we implement this plan, even if the President won't. On Friday I said that impeachment must become an option. More than that, it must become a fixture of American politics. We've now suffered through two two-term Presidents who had very little regard for our opinion of them. We need to get their attention, and the best tool at our disposal is to remove them from office when they break the law. It's our fault this is happening because we refuse to use our power. |
