How We Democrats Can Save Iraq ! (what Kerry can't say)
This Iraq war is a crime and immoral and completely based on lies. The soldiers there are dying for a mistake. Disobey you orders, don't reenlist, you will be dying for a war crime otherwise. The administration couldn't care less about another dead immigrant or misguided patriot. Every single soldier is cooperating in one big War Crime. So says the Pope. So says Kofi Annan. Its what 75% of the world knows and its why America is hated and will be hated even more UNLESS WE DEMOCRATS MAKE IT RIGHT!

MAKING IT RIGHT: (what Kerry can't say, but will happen anyway when we Democrats WIN)

1) Join the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague and indict the key architects of this war for War Crimes. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Powell. Find them guilty for the same thing Hitler did, invading a sovereign country illegally under false pretenses.

2) This acknowledgement and public trial of these criminals will do WORLDS to repair our broken reputation in the world. Only then, and directly because of #1) Kerry will have the credibility to bring our allies back. I'm talking about the Arab Countries, France and even Russia or China will contribute substantial troops and treasure to Iraq and RELIEVE OUR BATTERED AND OVERSTRECHED ARMIES!

That is the ONLY SOLUTION.

3)The US should pay repairations to Iraq, at least 100 billion dollars but THIS TIME IT DOESNT GO TO HALIBURTON CRONIES! But directly to the Democratically elected and LEGITIMATE Iraqi Government! Only then can the Iraqi people begin to forgive us.

4) Then pay compensation to all of the Iraqis we killed for this Illegal War and personally apologise to their families.

1. Agreed...The Iraq War Is Immoral & UnChristian
It undermines the very concept of Christianity. Kerry has shown great leadership and he and the U.S. can lead the world to peace by positive actions.

This transference of wealth from the American taxpayers and the Iraqi citizens to corporate globalists is wrong and evil.

If we ever really do all the above, then for the first time in years, I will not be ashamed of my country.
on edit: However, even if we join the ICC now, bu$hco will be immune, I read somwhere.

5. RICO Then...
They are a corrupt organization and War Crimes is an offense under common law. They could be tried here.
