Are we 100% sure we want a special prosecutor? [View All]

This is an honest question about something that occurred to me this morning.

After reading half of Krugman's book, I'm convinced that Bush is only a part of the problem in this country. If we toss him out, the forces that got him there aren't going to go away. They're going to lurk, waiting for their chance to pounce again. And if they have support in Congress, they'll be doubly dangerous.

Given that, what would they do to the democratic president? What they did to Clinton. But they'd need a special prosecutor to do it. If they have to resurrect the law, they'll have a harder battle than if we do it for them.

I'd really like to hear other opinions on this one.
