I have posted the "Bush Must Be Impeached and Indicted" solution to end the Iraq war a few times, and each time have gotten the "Face it -- it ain't gonna happen."
Fair enough -- I do understand that these bastards will NEVER voluntarily relinquish power, even if they have to destroy our country in the process. They're hoping that their failures get lost in the fog of ever-escalating chaos and war.
Reaching out once again to the rest of the world has just gotten a lot harder. John Kerry, or any Democrat, sadly, is going to find himself bitterly embattled with America's ever-growing enemies, and he will have to strike back -- thus maintaining the cycle of violence. Yeah, well Bush knew from the inception that all he had to do was to stick his foot in the door (Iraq) and that a prolonged and profitable war would result.
If Kerry is elected, watch the Flying Monkeys go after him and do everything they can to sabotage his efforts. Anything that he does will be pronounced a failure, and a failure due to weakness -- opening the door to the "unbending resolve" to another member of the Bush dynasty. He could nuke the Middle East his first day in office and still be called an appeaser. Bizarre.
The consequences of not finding a way to carry out the "Chookie Doctrine" will be the resort to use of unbridled military force -- because that's all Bush has left, because he has obliterated America's moral prestige and leadership. We will find ourselves in an even more terrifying spiral of ever-increasing violence as a result. They will say the reason that the war has gone so badly is because some pesky do-gooders made those photographs public -- leading to further justification of repression and censorship at home in the interest of national security. Polarization at home will also increase, because a draft will become necessary, infuriating people who oppose the war, and turning other people who have loved ones in the service against their fellow citizens, who they will blame for having made the situation more dangerous for them by not showing unity behind the president. The consequences of the actions of Bush and Sharon will be to make America and Israel even more vulnerable to violence -- and how will they respond to this inevitability but to say, "See? We told you these Arabs were rotten murderers." More and more people will buy into this, "softening" up Americans to embrace a prolonged regional war, not having a clue what they have gotten us into.
If Bush et al are not impeached, etc, it's going to be very hard for America to make any kind of moral or legal appeal.
Too bad no one has the guts to push this through, because I fear the bad times for our nation are just beginning. That is fairly certain. But how the bad times will end, and when is not certain, and may be quite brutal and awful.
Boy -- aren't I the cheery one?
Wes is a smart guy, and who I was supporting for the Presidency. We sure do need someone who is pragmatic and solution oriented, not ideologically driven. We also need someone who can restore the honor of our military by confronting the militarists and the contractors. I know he will use his prudent judgement in applying to these horrific times. Wes has heard the call to duty, and he's got great guts. I know he is part of the solution. He might even get around to adopting The Chookie Doctrine :-)
