The Ten Worst Nightmares Bush Inflicted on America
Juan Cole

Here are my picks for the top ten worst things about the wretched period, which will continue to follow us until citizens stand up to fix them.

By spring of 2000, Texas governor George W. Bush was wrapping up the Republican nomination for president, and he went on to dominate the rest of the decade.

If Dickens proclaimed of the 1790s revolutionary era in France that it was the best of times and the worst of times, the reactionary Bush era was just the worst of times. I declare it the decade of the American oligarchs. Just as the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union allowed the emergence of a class of lawless 'Oligarchs' in Russia, so Neoliberal tax policies and deregulation produced American equivalents. (For more on the analogy, see Michael Hudson.) We have always had robber barons in American politics, but the Neoliberal moment created a new social class.

1. It Won't Go Away Because

we have not had closure. He needs to be investigated and held accountable for any laws he broke. Presidents are not above the law.

4. I'll forgive him after he is found guilty at his trial.

There is no statute of limitations for treason.

That's one thing on our side.
Time can't run out on his crimes.

5. I think it is not going away because

this country is living the nightmare he and his administration (enable by the self same republicans still in congress) did to this country every single day.

We see the economy in a horrific mess. We see jobs disappearing still overseas. Banks collapsing, wall street floundering. And the worst thing of all the republican hate and violence that our president is receiving. He is being blamed for bush and cheney and the republicans in congress actions. Outfits like Fox News are pushing this misinformation.

That is why this won't go away. This country needs to heal. We need for bush cheney and every single solitary republican who voted for the bills and the money poured into Iraq to be tried and if found guilty convicted.

At least the correct people will have to pay for the mess we are in. Not Obama and the Democrats.
