Focusing on the question whether GWB should be impeached, I vote that we do not. The last time this action was pursued simply divided the country. What is an impeachable offense? This is poorly defined and subject to much debate. The bottom line is this: 67 votes in the US Senate are necessary. The current senate is comprised of one Independent, 48 Democrats and 51 Republicans. In case of a tie breaker we have a Republican Vice President. The numbers just don't add up. We need cohesivness in these difficult times, not dissent. I'm not suggesting that we blindly follow this current administration, and I believe questioning authority is a proper thing to do, however, ideologic warfare is not helping this country.
The solution is simple, if you want GWB out, vote against him in the next election.
