Bush's crime is worse than Nixon's
6/11/2003 - boston.com/dailyglobe
IT IS becoming increasingly clear that the Bush administration lied to the American people and the world about Iraq. In the face of the lack of evidence of a chemical or biological weapons program that provides an imminent threat to our country, or a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda, President Bush, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Dick Cheney have started spinning extraordinary explanatory tales to obfuscate the truth.
In this case there is a simple explanation for the lack of weapons findings, and it is Bush's desire to test the power of Bush's new empire. His crime, which resulted in a war supported by few and opposed by many, is much worse than Nixon's Watergate break-in or Clinton's sexual indiscretion. Bush's crime erodes the trust needed for democratic government and makes war and death the province of a small clique at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
It is time for the public and the media to recognize that the effect of the Bush policy has been a putsch of democracy. Perhaps the opposition party will consider the damage done by its previous acquiescence and act to regain our confidence by calling for the impeachment of this clique.
