The best way to reconcile both the need to punish Bush and the need to
concentrate on urgent global issues is to use one of the GOP's own pet
tactics against them: Tag a rider bill onto something that is guaranteed
to pass (e.g., their annual pay increase) where the rider removes the
US-claimed immunity to war-crimes charges. Nothing direct. Nothing that
even mentions Bush or fellow criminals.

This way you will not waste time fighting for an impeachment that simply
will not happen before his term limit is up (as it hasn't happened so far,
there is *nothing* he could do that would provoke it) and it will allow
the necessary pressure to be concentrated on the environmental issues NOW.
