An open letter to citizens and residents of nations other than the USA.
Advertisements [?]


Even tho we Americans managed to elect a Democratic congress our elected representatives want to make nice and refuse to hold the administration-meaning Bush/Cheney-accountable for the federal crimes they have committed, not to mention the crimes against humanity.

It's apparent by this time that the desires of the citizens of this nation have no bearing on what the government, Democrat or Republican, will do. Their actions are determined not by the citizens, but by the corporations that supply the materials of war. That's due to the way we finance our elections. We work on the "Electoral Bribery" principle. Ask any of our representatives and they will tell you that they spend at least half of their time begging for campaign funds from lobbyists, who represent corporations. That's a problem that appears unfixable, but I believe that there is something that cam be done about it. Just as there are things that can be done about all the abominations that this administration has caused us, and you-the world- to endure.


And there is something that I will ask you to do as individuals that I believe will keep this from ever happening again. And I believe that I will have a salutary effect on all the nations of the world. It will, in effect slap the faces of all governments and make them responsible to their PEOPLE once more.

Now I'll get to what I want to ask of you. The criminals that have caused all the deaths, horror, and larceny are the administration that runs this country now. You know that and I know that.

Our congress leaders have told us that they do not plan to hold them accountable in so many words. Remember "IMPEACHMENT IS OFF THE TABLE"? Well, that would only cover those crimes that are proscribed by OUR laws. There is a whole other set of laws that our congress can have no judgment on. I'm talking about international crimes, crimes against humanity.

That's where you come in. Your media is much more free than ours has become. And your governments are more responsive to your citizens than is ours. There is enough rancor in the rest of the world that I think it possible that a popular movement could cause the nations belonging to the UN to convene a new War Crimes Commission to bring the perpetrators of the last seven years of horror to justice.

But that's all up to you. If you agree with me, there are some things that you could do to get things started. Write letters to your media. Write to your legislators. Talk to your friends and families about it. Tell all these people that the citizens of the world demand that justice be done. That it is absolutely imperative that those who caused the world to tremble in fear and did so for monetary gain be held accountable to the people of the world. Some have called George W. Bush the "NEW HITLER". I disagree. Hitler was a crazed demagogue, who operated strictly from personal ego. George W. Bush is the puppet of a bunch of military supplier CEOs who have sucked billions from our treasury with not the slightest thought.

Think about it. We were not the only nation effected by this bunch of criminals. Most of the rest of the world has suffered. Well, with the possible exception of Patagonia.

What do you feel in response to to the Bush years of terror? Do you agree with me? How do you think you can help? Do you have a blog to push the idea. Can you print posters? I don't know what else can be done, maybe you have some ideas you'd like to share. All I know is that it's out of our hands here in the US of A. It's up to you out there in the world to help us now.

Help us send this gang of thieves to the Hague, to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.
