Going to California to Get Out of Iraq

Yesterday I spoke on a panel in Los Angeles organized by the California Democratic Party Progressive Caucus, a body that is leading the way in promoting a plan to end the occupation. Below are my answers to the moderator's thoughtful questions.
<snip>

It's disbelief in those lies that is driving opposition to the war. But that disbelief has not progressed far enough or sunk in deeply enough. Too many people see a mistake where they should see a crime, and too many are prepared to support a similar crime against Iran.

The main problem is not public opinion, but a lack of democracy. Congress lags far behind the public in opposition to the war. But we can move both Congress and the public forward by exposing this war as a crime. You cannot win a crime, you can only cease committing it.

This is an occupation by the Bush Administration. As Americans know from domestic experience, any country in the hands of the Bush Administration goes downhill fast. Iraq has no more been rebuilt than New Orleans has. The quickest route to a restored New Orleans is the impeachment and removal from office of Bush and Cheney. That's also the quickest route to ending the war.

So, we must expose, discredit, investigate, censure, impeach, remove from office, prosecute, and convict. And if we can get Senator Feinstein to filibuster, then this should be easy.
