Let’s build a courthouse at ground zero to try the Bush Admin., their allies and enablers.

Throw out all the unproven and unprovable LIHOP and MIHOP theories and you’re still left with the most horrendous band of traitors in the history of our country.

Let’s face it. Had a group of people set out to destroy the United States, the only thing they could have done that hasn’t already been done by Bush & Co. is burn the entire country to the ground.

I don’t know what you call it when over 4,000 American troops come home in body bags from an unprovoked, undeclared war, but I call it murder.

I don’t know what you call it when unknown tens of thousands of Iraqis are dead because of this crime, but I call it murder.

I don’t know what you call countless dead bodies floating away in New Orleans because our government refused to do anything about it, but I call it murder.

I don’t know what you call the “profits” of so many companies that have cleaned up from Bush’s wars, but I call it war profiteering.

I don’t know what you call a president and vice president who have personally profited from war via The Carlyle Group, Halliburton, Blackwater, and so many others we’ll never know about, but I call it treason.

I don’t know what you call people who have put our grandchildren and great grandchildren in unimaginable debt, but I call it the biggest heist in history.

I don’t know what you call it when the majority of the Republican Party votes like lemmings to endorse these crimes, but I call it collaborating with the enemy.

So how about we really make ground zero in NY a memorable place. Let’s build a courthouse. And let’s bring each and every one of these people to trial, (even if they’ve already left office), and try them for war crimes and treason. And let’s make sure their corporate paymasters, and their propagandists, are sitting in the docket right next to them.

On edit: And let's do it before we get another Republican in the White House who decides to finish the job of shredding the Constitution.

5. Only that?
Well, then, let's get ready then. I hope that vast majority in Congress aren't blue dogs and that whoever gets the nod for the nomination thinks justice needs to be served.

3. I want the lot of them shipped to Baghdad
for trial under the system they most offended, the Iraqi.

They finished ruining us financially and cost us nearly 6000 lives plus tens of thousands of wounded and psychologically damaged military personnel, but it's nothing compared to what they cost the Iraqis.

It's one of the ways we could begin to heal the damage they've done to this county internationally, especially in the Middle East.

6. Damned if I don't like that Idea better than any I've heard yet
just think after we get through with the bush/cheney crew there won't be a crook to be found anywhere in our government. They'll all be scared to even show their faces. Won't be able to enjoy all their ill gotten gains for the fear of being arrested at every turn they make. YES.


Hey a guy can dream can't he plus you never know it may come to that. ;-)

10. And I'll be helping that dream along
I've been looking forward to the day when we will have come full circle for most of my life. My great grand parents on my fathers side were slave owners where their son, my grand father fought with the union soldiers to free the slaves. Its a sense of much pride in my family.
