if they can impeach a dictator in Pakistan, why can't we impeach George W. Bush?

From BBC News:

Pakistan's ruling coalition parties say they have agreed "in principle" to start impeachment proceedings against President Pervez Musharraf.

Wow. I guess Musharraf mustn't be the all-powerful evil-overlord dictator we thought he was, if he can be impeached. I mean, otherwise he'd just, I dunno, dissolve parliament or something, and it's not like he can do that or anything, right?

Last year, he gave up control of the army, the country's most powerful institution, but he retains the power to dissolve parliament.

Oh.

Will someone please tell Nancy Pelosi about this?

I don't really know how the system works in Pakistan, but here in Canada Parliament is dissolved quite regularly. It basically just means it's time for another election.
Yeah, but Bush can't even do that! He can't dissolve the body that would impeach him. And yet it still acts like a bunch of cowards in refusing to do so.
Except for Dennis Kucinich. http://kucinich.us/ If you are into signing petitions... http://kucinich.us/impeachment/ImpeachmentPetition.pdf If only.
