Pre-Emptive Strike
– from SF Chronicle 9/5/02

Editor: It seems that our one and only president is proposing that we attack Iraq not for something Iraq has done, but for something we’re afraid Iraq might do.

In addition, I understand that his attorney general is advancing the notion that we should lock up “potential terrorists” and “potential criminals” — i.e. lock up people not for something they have done, but for something we’re afraid they might do.

I humbly suggest that Congress has the right, and the duty, to impeach President Bush. Not for something he has done, but for something we have every reason to fear he is going to do.
