The madness of King George

Literally, without exaggeration or hyberbole, the President is mad. He thinks that he is on a mission from God to democratize (or more likely, theocratize) the world, even if he has to kill everyone to do it. If he is not removed from office, then I believe that he will start World War III. And it won't be pretty.

He will never resign if he is truly in the grips of a mental illness. Aside from that, two legal means exist for removing him from office. Amendment XXV is unlikely to be to be used, because Cheney has too much to gain financially from the current arrangement. The Cabinet secretaries don't seem to mind it too much, either.

The alternative, then, is impeachment (Article 1, Section 2 and Article 2, Section 4). The prospects for this seem bleak also.

All I can suggest is to vote Democrat in November and hope and pray that Bush doesn't drop any nukes on Iran before the new Democratic majority impeaches him in January.
