The Time has Come - Impeach! Now!
Glenn Greenwald posted in his blog at Salon.com on Thursday and Friday last week a great discussion of when and how America's standing in the World's eyes changed.

One of the most stunning sections, to me, was a portion of the passage Mr. Greenwald quoted from Ian Walsh - a Canadian -
And then the Bush years happened. George Bush, with the acquiescence of Congress and the consent of the majority of voters, who elected him in 2004, made the US a unilateral actor on the world stage ... (emphasis mine)
This encapsulates an essential point from the discussion -- In the eyes of the World, every individual American is complicit with Our President in all the wrongs.
I know this is always the case in reality, and rhetorically. But this single idea brings me to the conclusion that the primary way we individual Americans can begin to rebuild our reputation in the World is by repudiating President Bush. We must show that we do not agree and are not complicit with Mr. Bush.
There seems to be no way to accomplish that repudiation short of beginning Impeachment proceedings.
