Justice for the victims of the Iraq War means more than humiliating neoconservatives
Payback for what has happened in Iraq and here for the past 8 years will require a lot more than just focusing on neoconservatives.

In 2002, the Rand Corp. produced something it called a "Terror Chain" that implicated Saudi Arabia in acts of terrorism. If one uses this chain on the events of the past 8 years, they will see that our work is very far from finished. In fact, our fight might just be getting started.

The Terror Chain:

Planners - Neo-Conservatives
Financiers - It is important that we cut off funding for the war and for right wing projects (Abstinence education for example)
Cadre - Groups like Free Republic
Foot-soldier - It is important to make the armed services socially moderate and modern as well. End Don't Ask Don't Tell and take away the influence of Christian Right leaders upon the armed services
Ideologist - The New Right
Cheerleader - The Christian Right, Fox News, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, and other pundits

We CAN beat them, but it will be a long and hard fight, and it won't end just because we get Obama elected and get veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate.
