Will getting Shrub out be enough? |
|
OK, say things go well and we have President Kerry in Jan 05. Now what? What happens to the neocons? Do we just let them wait and regroup till 06 and 08 to purpotrate the same bullshit they do now? Do we just let them sit back and collect their war dividends?
My opinion is no, just getting Shrub out isn't enough. The neocons must be held accountable for the crimes they are commiting. Kerry can't just squeek by...he needs a mandate.

2. No, we have to really work hard at taking back |

Congress and changing the face of the Supreme court. Then we need to get some hard to revoke ammendments in the Constitution to make sure no one like Bush ever becomes President again.
Of course nothing like this will happen because the Washington establishment is part of the problem and Kerry is one of them.

8. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems we need to change the way we |
|
do elections and since this is kind of a constitutional issue, it seems an ammendment or two would be in order. I also think we need to delineate more clearly our reasons to go to war. Apparently raiding other countries for their mineral wealth was not what the founding fathers had in mind, so it needs to be made very clear under what circumstances we will go to war.

5. Getting this administration out is step one |
|
then the real work begins. These guys won't go softly into the night and will never admit defeat. They are going to have to be squished like a cockroach. And that will mean over and over.

7. If this country wants to regain its position |
|
...in the world community, we will have to bring Bush and his team of thugs, incompetents, thieves, crackpot ideologues and relgious nutballs to justice. That means we will have to regain control of Congress and put pressure on the Justice Department to start to investigate and act.
(My guess is that the first 4 years after we rid ourselves of Bush will be devoted to finding out just how much they stole, and who stole it.)
Only by demonstrating to the world that the Bush gang was an aberration and not the norm for the US will we begin to mend a few fences and regain the trust of former friends. There are no shortcuts, and there is no other way.

9. Why can't we get the Iraqis to kidnap them one by one and |
|
then put them on trial, like the Israelis did to the Nazis that escaped justice at Nuremburg.

11. Exactly. The rest of the world |
|
...isn't going to be satisfied with holding it's collective breath every four years to see if Shrub part III comes back. Once they're gone, it has to be permanent for this bunch. The only way to do that, (besides death) is to convict them for their crimes, and lock 'em up.

There needs to be international trials, judicial impeachments and trials, new media laws passed, etc. What has occured and is going to possibly occur is not just politics as usual. Clean-up isn't going to be easy at all, but is vital to our survival.

13. We need a REAL investigation of 911 |
|
I think that once the truth is out about that, they are destroyed.
