The President's address

I have just heard George Bush talking about "moral imperatives". I have just written my Congressman. It seems to me that we have a moral imperative to get our troops out of Iraq. It seems clear that the average human in the territory we call Iraq does not identify as an Iraqi--rather they identify as a Sunni or Shia or "tribal" Certainly makes it hard to arrive at any acceptable "political solution".
My Congressman is young and comes across as a terribly earnest evangelical Christian who talks a good game about fiscal responsibility and "values". One of my questions to him was about the fiscal responsibility of waging war on borrowed money. I also asked him if he had seen the Bill Moyer's program where the legal case for impeaching George Bush had been presented and asked him why Congress had failed to act. I do not expect any action on his part--I know some staffer will read it and file it in the waste basket but I felt better getting it off my chest.
