4 months until Bush is out of office anyways. I think this is to little to late. But I still give Kucinich kudos for standing up for the true meaning of a democracy.
How long did the Clinton impeachment trials last? Even if it does pass he will be out of office before they reach a verdict.

Technically the United Nations didn't "approve" of the Iraq War...why would they? They had a nice racket going on with the "Oil for Food" program. But...in each of the 18 UN resolutions condemning Sadamm Hussein there were consequences, and one of the consequences was use of force. So the attack on Iraq was supported by the UN.

You can't impeach someone just because you don't like them.

.but George W. Bush is responsible, thanks to blatantly lying about the facts on Iraq to cause a war to help his buddies in the private sector, for over 4000 deaths of YOUR OWN citizens. That's more people than the death toll from September 11th. THAT'S why the impeachment should happen.
The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program — a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium — reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.
The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" — the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions.

what if getting him out of office or at least starting the hearings meant he doesn't get to carry out his plan to bomb Iran, and we dont start WW3. Might be worth it.
Israeli warplanes bombed a reactor project at the site in 1981. Later, U.N. inspectors documented and safeguarded the yellowcake, which had been stored in aging drums and containers since before the 1991 Gulf War. There was no evidence of any yellowcake dating from after 1991, the official said.
The yellowcake issue also is one of the many troubling footnotes of the war for Washington.
A CIA officer, Valerie Plame, claimed her identity was leaked to journalists to retaliate against her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, who wrote that he had found no evidence to support assertions that Iraq tried to buy additional yellowcake from Niger.
Wait what are the reasons they want to impeach him for? The "illegal war" that was approved by Congress and the United Nations? Is that really an impeachable offense?
Yes, but impeachment and conviction are important for two reasons.
First, a warning to future presidents not to act as George W. Bush did.
Second, to be sure that in the USA George W. Bush cannot hold any position of public trust or serve as an officer of a corporation. This limits to some extent the amount of money he could make through positions of public trust in the future ... bottom line.

I think the problem is that there have been motions to impeach since the first day the schmo became President. The Democrats have had Congress for two years and haven't done squat (remember, they got elected partly on the promise of reducing the cost of gas!!). I think most people are just tired of it and are thinking, "S**t or get off the pot" when it comes to impeaching the Prez/Vice Prez/Dog catcher/Ice cream man, or whoever is in their cross-hairs at the time.
