On November 4th, 2008, a new President of the United States will be elected.
Or, at least, SHOULD be elected.
Hopefully it will be the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama.
And, assuming that will be the outcome, on January 20th, 2009, President-Elect Obama will become the 44th President of the United States of America.
One of the first items on the agenda, for the new administration, MUST be to right all of the wrongs that our nation has committed in the previous eight years.
In particular, they must resurrect our good standing with the nations of the world, a standing of respect, and honor, that our nation spent 2224 years (1776 - 2000) building up, only to see it torn down in a mere eight.
And, the first thing that must be done, above all else, is to show the world that we as a nation will not allow an administration, any administration, tear down what we have built including the desecration of our own Constitution.
We will show the world that we will not tolerate what laws they have broken, both here at home, and in the international theater.
We will gather the evidence, we will try these lawbreakers and we will punish them to the maximum that our laws permit, including legal execution if so deemed.
There have been many crimes that these perpetrators have, allegedly, committed, many of which has caused a magnitude of death and destruction around the globe and not just to Americans but to citizens of other nations, sovereign nations, and that can not under any circumstance be allowed to go unpunished.
The big question,of course, is whether, or not, the new administration, if it is democratic, has the gumption, the guts and the spine, to do, what by all the rights of civility has to be done.
It is not an easy thing for a nation, any nation, to take their dirty laundry and hang it out to dry.
It can be am embarrassment. But this time it is different. This is something that must be done.
By exposing these, alleged, criminals to the world, exposing the crimes that they have perpetrated on our nation, on the world, will at first be an embarrassing moment. It will expose our nation to the world for allowing it to happen, but in the end, with the evidence presented, and hopefully, the legal conviction and legal sentencing, we can turn that embarrassment into respect, respect that we once had and a respect that has been destroyed by the current administration.
We must act swiftly. We must take it upon ourselves,as one nation, united in such a way as never seen before. For if we do not, then our nation will never, regain those 224 years and we will forever be remembered as the nation of the past eight.
If the election goes as I hope it does, we will be presented with an opportunity to do something big, something that will make us proud, in the end.
If we fail to act, then it will happen again, in our future.
We must act now to ensure that it never, never happens again.
