Is the emperor about to crash?

In today's New York Times, Frank Rich shows how the White House gang of eight marketed this illegal, immoral war on Iraq all of seven months before Bush unleashed it. It is a devastating article.

Bush will be impeached -- and ultimately indicted for violation of the Nuremberg principles and the U.N. charter in invading Iraq.

If any of this happens, I wonder if the Falwells of the land will make the connection when they read in the Gospel of Luke that "the Lord has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts (and) has brought down the powerful from their thrones." Just a pious thought....
