Wow, Kerry launches petition calling on Rumsfeld to resign

Ok, I'm not generally a fan of petitions, but this is good. John Kerry has launched a petition calling on Rumsfeld to resign. And he reportedly has over 200,000 signatures. This is gutsy, and a rather smart way to use the Web and recent issues to build up a larger database of supporters. Good for him.

I have to admit, as late as a few days ago I wasn't ready yet for Rumsfeld to resign, but I've changed my mind now. The international fallout from this scandal is too great. The only way we can make amends, or begin to make amends, with the entire world is to show that we're serious about not tolerating this kind of abuse. And the way you show you're serious is by getting rid of the guy who helped establish a culture where this kind of activity was tolerated and encouraged.

If it's a choice between sullying our name with the rest of the world for the next ten years, plus, or losing Donald Rumsfeld. I say get rid of Rumsfeld. Sign the petition.
