Congratulation for fooling so easily to millions of Americans not once but two times to become president of US. A drunk nation ? do you know your nation is in debt for 8 trillions, your industries are sick, you are being considered around the world as bankrupt in every way, except one in terrorising small nations. Do you know who will pay the price for all this not the presidents but you all. Again congratulation to Mr. Bush, because he is exempt from all hardship, who is smart, of course Mr.Bush, not the Americans. God help those Americans coming in this world after you all goes.

"Rare exceptions" are" rare" only in number of prosecution- with disgracefully lenient sentences. In every crime of "our boys",which came to light, there were the "executors" and "spectators", and everything was followed with a silence and a long cover up ( sometimes up to more than a year). The "executors" were obviously psychopats and the "spectators", by their own admission- cowards. There was never any of their superiors indicted and never mind sentenced. Investigating authorities ( and our brave newsmedia)always accepted as attenuating circumstances " battle fatigue" or "lack of proper training" . What battles did our delicate brave soldiers wage they were so tired of? Shooting of civilians at the checkpoints?( Or boredom?) As far as the "lack of proper training", since when our glorious military had to be trained to behave humanely? And what are all those military priests and rabis doing meanwhile? Blessing their " war on terrorism"? No, these are no isolated incidents.American military are affected by a cancer which can't be cured with aspirins such as those famous "rules of engagement" It is too easy to pas the buck to the idiotic Bush. Original Steve is wrong.

Those involved in committing or covering up atrocities should be prosecuted. But there is no reason to assume that the @ million American troops that have been in Afghanistan and Iraq are all tainted.

The Israeli government is also guilty of murder for intentionally bombing civilian targets throughout Lebanon. Israel's weaponry is far more accurate than Hezbollah's. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize that Hezbollah would not intentionally attack Arab villages in northern Israel. And I have not been coerced to pay for any of the World War II era rockets that Hezbollah uses - but I am compelled to bankroll the IDF bombs and missiles.

But thats the way TERRORIST organizations conduct themselves directly targeting innicent civilians. VERY EVIL. The DEVIL is alive and well on Earth. The BIBLE WARNS us against his evil schemes.

Hope some of these guys will $$$ your books.... Also, the people who need to "hang their heads" are not, with rare exceptions our soldiers, sailors and marines. They are the Bush people, and they have no shame. Jim, just out of curiosity from an old troller here, why the sudden (and welcome) explosion in comments???

L’État, c’est Moi. Since he has never been about territorial ambition, America has never been about territorial ambition.

“I believe that freedom is a universal value. And by that, I mean I believe people want to be free. One way to put it is, I believe mothers around the world want to raise their children in a peaceful world. That’s what I believe. And I believe that people want to be free to express themselves and free to worship the way they want to.”

Note he doesn’t say about believing that the little people should actually have freedom. Just that wanting it is universal.

“And if you believe that, then you’ve got to have hope that ultimately freedom will prevail.”

In Aesop’s time, hope was trapped in Pandora’s Box with all of the world’s evils because hope was considered to BE a great evil. Hope is a bright and shiny little bitch who will keep you trudging along, no matter how bad things get, because she whispers to you “Things are bound to get better, if only you don’t give up. Stay the course.”

Wake up. Things are not only bound, they’re gagged, raped, beaten, and bleeding to death in a ditch.

“But it’s incredibly hard work…”

Remember, “L’État, c’est Moi.” America — incarnate in George W Bush, The Decider, The Commander-in-Chief — is fighting a Global War Against Terror, and Spreading Freedom. All by himself. It’s hard work.
