I think there is some importance in sending a message -- not for partisan politics, but for global politics. I think it would do immense good for American public image for the world to see that we castigate and fire an administration for waging illegal war, lying to the people, and removing fundamental rights. (I wouldn't cry if they got impeached over Libby, but I think that's not the real reason to do it.) If we were willing to impeach Clinton and not W/Cheney, I think that does make us look awful in the eyes of the world, and does great harm to us as a nation. If Clinton had done anything as egregiously awful, I'd have been crying for his head on a platter too.
I am appalled and embarassed that our message to the world is "we don't care enough to have done anything about these guys, uh, sorry about all those deaths". Or worse, "Fuck yeah!".
