This story alone justifies impeaching Bush.
Bush is the worse thing that has ever happened to America and the world. I agree with the e-mailer that said that he should be impeached. I pray that we do not get another four years of him. I am convinced that he knew that 9-11 was going to occur,and let it happen. He has the blood of all of 9-11 victims as well as everyone who has died in the Iraq war, on both sides, on his hands. I don’t know how he sleeps at night. Probably in his skull and bones coffin.
First of all we have to get rid of Bush thats our #1 priority.
But Pakistan has been an ally with the USA since its creation in 1947, and it needs to be supported at all costs.
We all know about China, the USSR, Pakistan, India, USA, France, Britian, South Africa, importing and exporting nuclear technology…but those days are over and we as part of the world community need to move on.
We need to work on what is important such as eliminating corporate welfare to Corporations, eliminating subsidies to farmers so poor global farmers can lift themselves out of poverty.
