So it's all still here. I'm impressed. I stopped doing the web log thing for awhile, partly out of a fear that people were not listening, and partly out of a fear that they _were_ listening. But the time for that is done. As the Pirate Yellowbeard said, "Dyin' is takin' the easy way out. When they stretched me out on a rack for a couple of years, I didn't go dying all over the place. They'll have to kill me before I die!" So I am not going to shut up just for fear of what they -might- do.

Nothing I have seen in the past 7 years has shaken my conviction that GW Butch is nothing but an evil piece of white trash. He and his whole administration should go on trial for war crimes. And inasmuch as it was appropriate to try Eichmann for his Nazi War Crimes in Israel, it should be appropriate to try the Bushies in Baghdad. They should face Iraqi justice, and if they are found guilty, they should be unceremoniously strung up in their dank jail cells while grainy video cameras roll.

There is nothing that could ever happen to Bush or any of his people that could come close to equalling the magnitude of their crimes and treachery. And sadly, vengeance won't undo the damage they have done.

So if Justice will not right the wrongs they have done, or bring back the innocent dead, why bother? Why not just let them get off scot free? After all, that's what they expect. To a conservative, a public official being held personally responsible for war crimes is absurd. To a conservative, any crime committed by a head of state is OK, provided it leads to victory. Laws, to a conservative, are only there to give cops an excuse to beat up black people.

So as happy as it might make conservatives to let these war criminals get off, and still go around painting themselves as 'leaders,' or 'statesmen,' what will it say about the rest of us? If we refuse to pronounce the guilt of our leaders, then doesn't make us accessories to their crimes? Doesn't that make us part of the cover-up? Isn't there blood on all of our hands, if we will not turn over our so-called 'president' to face Iraqi justice?
