The largely unstated word at the massive anti-war demonstration and march in Washington on Saturday was ‘impeachment.’ Not that it wasn’t on demonstrators’ lips and signs, but it wasn’t coming from the podium. The march, organized by United for Peace and Justice, was instead deliberately focused narrowly on the issue of ending the war in Iraq and preventing an invasion of Iran. But clearly, behind that was the sense that the US government is in the hands of a cabal of warmongers and anti-democratic usurpers who are intent on broadening the war in the Middle East, not ending it, and that the Democrats in the 110th Congress haven’t got the spine to stop them (a group from Seattle actually addressed this with a giant white spine float emblazoned with the words ‘investigate, impeach, indict’)...
