If you have driven through the intersection of 320th and Pacific Highway South on any Sunday around the noon hour recently over that past couple of years, you have seen war protestors holding signs in all manner of weather.

And though the reasons for the war in Iraq may be in dispute, these people are unquestionably a dedicated group.

The hand-made signs they hold are in various and increasingly common themes: "No More War," "Bring Troops Home," "Another Patriot For Peace," and "Honk To Impeach."

When I stopped there last Sunday to take pictures, in a slurry of freezing wind and sleet, I asked one protestor why they were there.

"The war is illegal, immoral and Bush needs to be impeached," said one woman.

"It's wrong, it's criminal and it needs to end," said another man.

I asked how they arrange their meetups, and a woman named April told me, "There's a website called "FederalWayMatters.Org," and we contact each other that way...we meet here every Sunday from noon to one."

I asked a young lady holding a "Remove/Impeach/Incarcerate" sign her estimation of the ratio of positive reactions versus negative ones had been from passing motorists.

"We're seeing about 85 percent positive...people smiling, honking and giving thumbs up."

And the negative? "A few people give us the middle finger, one driver tossed out a full water bottle....and there's even been a few 'moons.'"

FederalWayMatters.Org is a barebones webpage with a number of topics of concern, and the subtitle, "dedicated to local events promoting peace, justice, and the general well-being and longevity of this planet."

The topics include links to articles regarding the "telecom immunity bill," "military suicides," the "torture and waterboarding" controversy, and the progress, or lack thereof, of an impeachment process against both Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

But the issue at hand that most war protestors cite is the fact that the Bush administration invaded Iraq illegally, effectively tricking Congress and the public into support with numerous lies, many of which Bush himself later admitted to (in the interest of the space allowed for this column, I would direct readers to simply google "Impeach Bush" to see the copious postings with these sources).

And this seems inexplicable, until you factor in one more thing: Oil.

According to the Scottish newspaper, The Sunday Herald, Bush decided to invade Iraq in April 2001, six months before September 11th, and the official reason was to improve Western access to Iraqi oil.

"President Bush's Cabinet agreed in April 2001 that Iraq remains a destabilizing influence to the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East' and because this is an unacceptable risk to the US 'military intervention' is necessary." (Bush planned Iraq regime change before becoming President - Sunday Herald - UK.)

So now, in light of this, seeing people on street corners with signs that say, "Impeach" is not surprising.

According to a wikipedia posting on the topic of polls for impeachment, a November 13, 2007 nationwide poll by American Research Group found 34 percent of all voters agreeing that "President Bush has abused his powers as president which rise to the level of impeachable offenses under the Constitution and he should be impeached and removed from office," distributed among 50 percent of Democrats, 18 percent of Republicans and 34 percent of independents.

43 percent of all voters nationwide agreed Dick Cheney has abused his powers as vice president to the level of impeachable offenses and he should be impeached and removed from office.
