ani - You are absolutely correct. Bush, Cheney, Rove, Libby all DESERVE to be in jail; but none of them will see a minute behind bars. Not because the Dems are just as guilty (utter nonsense), but because of the realities of the political world.

We are in a war, not of our own choosing, but where American troops are dying needlessly. The country is preoccupied w/ the election, the down spiralling economy, the loss of thousands of homes, ever increasing gas prices, etc. There is no stomach for a bruising impeachment battle.

Moreover, even if any or all are ever convicted of crimes, the next president, Dem or Rep, would probably pardon them anyway.

The Republicans refused to acknowledge the lack of support for Clinton by the public and pushed ahead anyway. The impeachment got nowhere. All the Republicans succeeded in doing was paralyze the entire government for all those months. Sadly so much harm was done just to satisfy the bloodlust of the Reps.

As for going to war, yes,

One more reason Bush isn't in Jail is that the senate still is nearly half Roadblock Republicans and the Injustice Department now functions mostly as a political enforcement arm to try to build an eternal Republican monarchy.

But all that's about to change. Bush may not get impeached, but when we have a real Justice Department again, there is a good chance that he and quite a number of his staff will spend time in jail.

If we do not prosecute them, then we set the precedent that contempt of congress, trashing of Constitutional separation of powers, suspension of habeas corpus, the unitary executive, torture and deliberate propaganda are all just fine for any administration that follows him.

What is truly sad is that you really seem to believe what you say. What is sad about that is you cannot see beyond the party you believe in.

One day you will go before God. What will you tell him about all the evil you backed from this administration?

What will you tell him about how you could not discern the good from the bad? Because they claimed to be a Republican and a man of God.

What will you say when you see all the dead and misery that are on his hands. Will you be able to justify your beliefs, or will you silently weep and know total despair. For you will know that you followed an evil one, who sucked the life out of you.

There is no joy, no pleasure in my saying this. There is actually sadness. Reflect privately on what has occurred, see if you think all is right.

Don't let the hatred destroy you.
