When I demand impeachment it's for 3 reasons:
1) Punishment
2) Preventing Bush from continuing to be the worst president in history and
3) Providing a warning to any future Bush-wannabes to think twice before fucking with the Constitution.
Each of these three reasons represents the "scary monster", which is not a phantom but rather a clear, present and ongoing danger to the US and the world.
Just for clarification:
Can you explain this? At first reading it sounds like you're agreeing with those you seem to be disagreeing with.

no will, a phantom since you are talking about future bush wannabees. That's no different than saying "I'm worried that brown people will bomb and terrorize us." You are just fearful of a future bush wannabee.
Demand impeachment. Great! Now what? Demand it again?
Bush will continue to be as you put it the worst president in history until the Jan 20, 2009. If you believe that it's going to change before then. Great! You are a true believer in the checks and balances of the system. You believe the the possiblity that he may be impeached before the end of his term is possible. It just may be.
I'm not disagreeing will. I'm in agreement that there needs to always be checks and balances. IMO the best checks and balances are when the powers are not encroached upon and if one branch is out of line the other is at the ready to check it.
What I'm in disagreement with is that I don't want the Congress to sit concentrating all it's efforts on punishing Bush. IMO it won't help reduce the price of gasoline, reduce the cost of my breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon, orange juice, and toast. No, I'm more concerned that my money isn't buying me as much as it used to. I can no longer enjoy going to Europe without worrying about the extra costs as my coffee in the morning costs me more on Saturday than it did on Tuesday.
