Something close to a majority of the people of the United States want Dick Cheney and George Bush to be impeached. Many more would join the bandwagon if the process was begun. But only 14 members of the U.S. House of Representatives have signed on to impeach Cheney, and the arch-criminal George Bush seems untouchable. Democratic lawmakers refuse to enforce the law. The inability of the U.S. political system to reign in rampaging criminality, is evident. Corporations govern the United States, and their laws are different. From Baghdad to New Orleans, U.S. corporations have been on a stealing- and killing-spree since January, 2001 - and they dare anyone to stop them.
