 Or take Kucinich's call for impeaching Cheney:

 "I want to state that Mr. Cheney must be held accountable. He is already ginning up a cause for war against Iran. We have to stand for this Constitution."

 Impeach Cheney? It's a sly move, as I'll examine in a future column, and surely grounds exist. Cheney's conflicts of interest regarding Halliburton, secret meetings with energy interests, his role in the Valerie Plame affair, innuendos and exaggerations regarding Saddam Hussein, WMDs, al-Qaeda and 9/11, his manipulation of intelligence and the media to start another war, should all be investigated. Serious questions need asking.


 Who's most likely to start a nuclear war? Is there a downside to spending more than all the other nations of the world combined on armaments? Should our leaders be held accountable for the quagmire we find ourselves in? For covering up evidence of global warming? Is there a way to break the cycle of war, given all we know about its causes and horrible effects in the 21st century?

 When we ignore candidates who raise such questions, we do so at the peril of our world.
