Nobel laureate calls for removal of Bush 

Irish peace activist's speech at Dallas event gets standing ovation

Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams came from Ireland to Texas to 
declare that President Bush should be impeached. 

In a keynote speech at the International Women's Peace Conference on 
Wednesday night, Ms. Williams told a crowd of about 1,000 that the Bush 
administration has been treacherous and wrong and acted 
unconstitutionally. 

"Right now, I could kill George Bush," she said at the Adam's Mark Hotel 
and Conference Center in Dallas. "No, I don't mean that. How could you 
nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that." 


About half the crowd gave her a standing ovation after she called for 
Mr. Bush's removal from power. 

"The Muslim world right now is suffering beyond belief," she said. 

"Unless the president of the United States is held responsible for what 
he's doing and what he has done, there's no one in the Muslim world who 
will forgive him." 

When an audience member told Ms. Williams that Vice President Dick 
Cheney would become president if George Bush were impeached, she said, 
"Can't you impeach them both?" 

"It's twisted. It's all wrong," she said. "There are so many lies being 
told. It's hard to be an American and go out into the world right now." 

Ms. Williams started her speech by asking every member of the audience 
to hug everyone around them. Then she cut to what amounted to both a 
call for peace and a stinging rebuke of the American government. 

Conference organizers have said that the conference is nonpartisan and 
that no one was invited to speak about the war in Iraq. After Ms. 
Williams finished her speech, conference chairwoman Carol Donovan took 
the podium to say that Ms. Williams did not speak for the conference – 
only herself. 

"It's important for us to separate the opinion of the person and the 
position of the conference," Ms. Donovan said. 

Two other Nobel Peace Prize winners, American activist Jody Williams and 
Rigoberta Menchú Tum of Guatemala, will speak this week as part of the 
conference. Jody Williams, who was in the audience Wednesday, has also 
indicated she would speak about Mr. Bush. 

"We believe very strongly it was important to have the opportunity to 
hear these three peace prize winners," Ms. Donovan said. 

Betty Williams won the Nobel Prize in 1976 for creating a group that 
helped start peace talks in Northern Ireland. 

In 1992, Texas Gov. Ann Richards appointed Betty Williams to the Texas 
Commission for Children and Youth. 

Many in the crowd found out that Lady Bird Johnson had died when Jan 
Sanders, the wife of U.S. District Judge Barefoot Sanders and a close 
friend of the former first lady, gave an impromptu eulogy. 

"She was a friend, a doer, an influencer of world events," Ms. Sanders 
said. "She lived a full life. If she were here, she would say to you, 
'Keep on being women doers.' "
