I hadn't looked at it that way, in terms of guilt. That was never a part of the way the history was related to me. I was always led to understand that my forebears knew EXACTLY who had done it to them. Given the fact that the times required every moment in a strugle for continued existence, all they could do was remember who was at fault and do their best NEVER to let them back in office.

It's one thing to know who to blame. It's another to make the punishment stick, let alone making the punishment fit the crime.

As to guilt, most of us here know who the guilty are. The guilty put us in this hole in 2000 and 2004 and prattled on about a "culture of life" and "fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here" and "Saddam was an evil dictator who killed his own people" and "the tax cuts will trickle down" and other such right-wing palaver.

The trick now is to keep them flushed from their lairs, make them live in the open and run them to ground, politcally speaking. The one thing the Depression era Americans didn't do was finish the job. They had a chance to eliminate the threat posed by Repiglickenism and Conservatism and they didn't. The war intervened before they could and that, in turn, allowed families like the Bushes to re-fill their coffers.

Hopefully, we won't let it happen this time.
