I think rather than attempting what, pragmatically speaking, is a futile effort to indict the Bush Administration for its admitted crimes against humanity, the Constitution, the Geneva Convention, and the American People, it's better that we continue, day after day, year after year, to REMIND people that they did commit those crimes.
We have to keep the legacy of these neocons truthful--currently one the Right's biggest tools is re-writing popular opinion well after history has had its objective say. They're refurbishing Nixon, practically canonizing Ronald Reagan, claiming MLK was one of theirs, and painting W. as a man who did what he thought was best. "Faulty intelligence" is more than just a double entendre for them: it's a massive excuse.
It's Eric Holder's job to arrest these criminals, and he won't do it. Our protest against consumerism to arrest Bush/Cheney is obviously just and warranted, but the only way for us to win this battle is to repeat that these guys are war criminals who knew what they were doing.
Anytime, bro. It's tough balancing idealism--in the literal sense of one's core ideals--and realism. I just want to make sure that if/when I have kids, they'll revile the practices and persons of the Bush Administration the way I was raised with warranted disgust for Nixon.
But that's why we blog I s'pose--and thanks too for hitting me up over in my neck of the woods.

Well said. It's the wish in one hand and make a shit knife in the other concept.
Thanks for coming by.
