It's not the same as Clinton's impeachment because of a whole string of reasons. Starting with 2 girls are dead, policemen were fired because they were trying to investigate the deaths, and then Kwame pushed the city into a lawsuit that cost the city more than $8mil during a trial where he was lying about the facts even before it even went to trial. I mean, if he really cared about the city, then he wouldn't have forced the city to pay $8mil+ for something that he was knowingly committing perjury for. Whatever the case, NPR and a number of other media stations are utilizing this Detroit political fight as a reference to the national US political mess we are experiencing in the presidential office. If you listened to NPR the day the Detroit news was announced, they spent the morning talking about Kwame, and they spent the afternoon taking callers who wanted to remember their loved ones who died in the Iraq war. People were making comments about how after Suddham was hanged, it should have been Bush and Chaney in the electric chair for the wrongdoings they've done. This went on for a few hours, with people talking about how the President and VP need to be impeached and tried for their war crimes. Symbolic. Detroit has a powerful effect on the globe. This trial with Kwame just may lead into the trial of the nations biggest criminals, Bush and Chaney. I think the world will be watching closely on this one. I hope this Detroit mess fuels the nations ability to get a trial together against Bush and Chaney, who have cost the nation billions in a war that was started from their lies.
