Poll Shows Bush at 27% and Congress at 16% 
Nancy Pelosi is dead wrong! People voted in 2006 to end the Iraq War going on under a man who has confused the presidency with a dictatorship.
In a July 16, 2007 letter to the editors of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer James Maynard of Sammamish, Washington has said something that should have been said long ego.
He begins his thought provoking, psychological-sounding letter quoting a Founding Father of the U.S.A. and its fourth president, James Madison, who said, "Those who are to conduct a war cannot, in the nature of things, be proper or safe judges, whether a war ought to be commenced, continued or concluded."
"This is particularly relevant for George Bush, since he plunged the country into an illegal and immoral war in Iraq, where our troops are dying needlessly in a conflict that is further destabilizing the world and making us less secure. For him to admit this wrongdoing and reverse course would be psychologically impossible. It would result in a mental hell which he could not face and remain sane."
Maynard admits that the U.S. has engaged in what he considers unjust wars before, citing the Spanish American and Vietnam conflicts. He explains clearly how the U.S. Constitution has provided power to Congress to declare war and terminate it through the tremendous power of the purse.
James Maynard then concludes his letter with the logical solution to the Iraq War now:
"Congress must now exercise the power, cut off the funding, and bring the troops home."
The United States citizenry voted in 2006 to end the Iraq War.
If the Congress cannot demonstrate democracy, those congressional members who refused to obey the will of the people should be sent back home promptly.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of Iraq said on July 14:
"Iraqi forces are capable and American troops can leave."
An aide to the Iraqi prime minister said in an Associated Press article appearing July 15, "The United States is embarrassing the Iraqi government by violating human rights and treating Iraq like an experiment inn a U.S. lab."
Iraqi citizens have said that they want the U.S. to go. Could it be that U.S. oil barons want to wait until they get a juicy oil lease contract?
