A President can commit no more serious crime against our democracy than lying to Congress and the American people to get them to support a military action or war. It is not just that it is cowardly and abhorrent to trick others into giving their lives for a nonexistent threat, or even that making false statements might in some circumstances be a crime. It is that the decision to go to war is the gravest decision a nation can make, and in a democracy the people and their elected representatives, when there is no imminent attack on the United States to repel, have the right to make it. Given that the consequences can be death for hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of people--as well as the diversion of vast sums of money to the war effort--the fraud cannot be tolerated. That both Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were guilty of misleading the nation into military action and neither was impeached for it makes it more, not less, important to hold Bush accountable.
Elizabeth Holtzman was a thoughtful, cogent voice on the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate hearings. She lays out an excellent analysis here of what is at stake. I'd only add that this begins with the political will, which will stem from taking back the House and the Senate, which will flow from Howard Dean's 50 state strategy and the general revulsion of the populace as 2006 rolls on. IMHO, of course.
