36. Do you know where most people who make "mistakes" of that nature end up?
In a prison cell.

Now, obviously nobody in the congress/senate will be forced to take that much responsibility for their votes.

Still, "mistakes" of this magnitude should not be tolerated. It's very easy to brush this off as a mistake, as we lay down comfortably in our homes at night--with food, electricity, schools, and little or no fear of being blown to bits as we sleep.

At the very least, we should send the message that political posturing at a time when hundreds of thousands of lives are at stake will be an automatic disqualification from future presidential races.

This war has no end in site. Where is the compassion for the wounded and dead troops, or for the close to 1 million dead Iraqis?
