Lahore, Pakistan - The first and most important act for a newly elected U.S. House and Senate is to impeach Donald Rumsfeld. The defense secretary waged incompetent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, undermined the U.S. military, introduced torture, destroyed U.S. credibility worldwide, lied to the American people, caused the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqi and Afghan civilians, failed to catch the perpetrators of 9/11 despite access to unlimited funds and caused the U.S. to enter a long period of isolation from the world.
Nothing less could help restore the credibility of the U.S. government amongst its own people and the peoples of the world. Failure to do so would only entrench the view in many minds that lies, torture and arrogance are now part of the U.S. government's agenda. There is little doubt that the next U.S. administration is likely to take the country into a prolonged period of international isolationism, which will cause enormous damage worldwide and be extremely beneficial to dictatorships. Rumsfeld will be heavily responsible for this.
