The US government shouldn't prosecute Bush-Chene
y, et al, because of revenge or punishment
; the US government needs to do it because that's what happens when you break the law.
There is
NOTHING more important in this democratic republic than to hold our leaders to account and to the laws of the land which we are all bound to follow. Particular
ly those who are entrusted with the instrument
s of power that is the US government
.
And where do you get the idea that it's an "either/or
" propositio
n? The US government is capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. In these times of record joblessnes
s, there is much to do everywhere
, including work for prosecutin
g attorneys and their staffs.

"In Germany they came first for the Communists
, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant
. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."
-Martin Niemoeller“One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachabl
e stars; and the world was better for this.”
