This is symptomatic of government having too much power and the public not being involved enough with politics. The populace has the power to remove Bush from office. We can do it tomorrow, if you'd like, but it'd take millions of people turning off American Idol for a second and taking responsibility. Pan, I respect you a great deal because you're passionate about justice. Do everywhere what you've done here. Get people rilled up. Get them interested, or at least aware. I do it almost every day myself. If enough people can cause enough awareness, things can get done.
Bush will be untouchable as long as we aren't hungry for justice. Let your fire burn a few people enough for them to come out of their trances for a second.
When the British were taxing us but not allowing representation in their government, we fought back. If people finally understand that they've lost their grip of control on government to a certain extent, an extent that could directly effect them, they can be incited to act.
