Justice and the Monsters of War
By MISSY COMLEY BEATTIE, Counter Punch

The CNN segment ended with a photograph of Saddam Hussein, taken not long before his death. Phillips remarked that Hussein appeared angry.

Of course, he was angry-for damn good reason. His country was bombed in a shameful campaign called "Shock and Awe." He was overthrown and condemned to die, based on lie after lie after lie. George Bush and Dick Cheney were the "very important" finger pointers who erroneously connected Iraq to 9/11 and, also, falsely told the world that Saddam was poised to use his arsenal of weapons to vaporize our cities.

These monsters of war, whose catastrophic damage has caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and more than 4,300 coalition troops, are the real proprietors of weapons of mass destruction. They, like Saddam, as far as we know, don't write about torture, but they endorse it. Bush and Cheney should each be called MOC-master of carnage. They should share the name and the dishonor. A concrete bed next to a toilet is more than they deserve.

I am a taxpayer who does not want my money to purchase crimes against humanity. To pay for occupations. For Dick Cheney's mobile ambulance. For Bush excursions to other countries, mugging and shaking his booty. For Guantanamo. For speechwriters who create arrogant, aggressive 'axis of evil' threats and skits like Bush's obscene search for WMD under his desk. I could go on and on and on.

I am more than willing, though, to shell out for the arrest of these mass murderers, their trials, convictions, and sentences. And to see them locked up in small cells with concrete beds next to their toilets.

To paraphrase Bob Dylan, I'd stand o'er their graves 'til I'm sure that they're dead.

1. I believe in America

so therefore I believe he and w will be having their day in court. Whether they're convicted or not we'll have to wait to see what the evidence presented to the jury is and then let them decide, and I do personally believe that they have commited many crimes.
My sig line pretty much says it all for me as far as I'm concerned

2. I hope he does...

Sometimes..hope...is all we have...

The day may be dark, but we know light will arrive.

I hope Cheney gets his, and I hope that the above post is correct..

I can't see how we remain a Democracy and these two not be brought to justice

along with most of their cabinet both present and past. This is America and our Constitution is based on laws and not on men which the congress critters have been allowing to be these last 7+ years but this will come to an end and these guys will be paying the price for the many crimes they've commited. I truly believe that with all my heart. The American people are but only the right revelation about whats really going on away from taking a stand and putting a stop to all this, our patiences is worn thin at this point.
We can not remain a Democracy with dick and w remaining free men, it can't happen and it won't happen. IHMO

Anyways lets keep on hoping, I sometimes see it as all I have left but having hope I do.

3. I hope they bury him face down so he can see were he is going.

4. I hope the same thing, for a different reason...

I'd like a place to park my bike while I relieve myself.
