No Alternative; No Exit

We all feel like we are in John Paul Sartre's play, No Exit.
For Sartre, hell is not a lake of brimstone, a perpetual fire, nor a place where the devil and his torturers forever hound their victims. To Sartre, hell is other people.
And the other people in our Hell live in a White House. What is one supposed to do when the Chief Executive of the Unites States of America admits to violating the Constitution and vows to continue to do so?
WASHINGTON -President Bush said Saturday he has no intention of stopping his personal authorizations of a post-Sept. 11 secret eavesdropping program in the U.S., lashing out at those involved in revealing it while defending it as crucial to preventing future attacks.
If our Congress does not institute impeachment proceedings, we will not survive as a nation. It is that serious.
