That feeling of being dirty, of having "sinned," of being somehow stained by a guilt that could not be placed has been identified now. What was done in our name has come home to roost in our collective conscience. Where were the riots in the streets when the charlatan Bush was seated in the throne by the Supreme Court? Where was the press when the shoddy case for war in Iraq was being made on the public stage? Why weren't the protests against that war bigger and better covered in the media? And why are the people who condone and ordered torture, who lied from the very start to get their way in Iraq, still in power rather than in prison? We let our government be stolen by the aristocrats in their penthouses and foreign mansions. The only way to make things right again is to take it back and do the right and just things for the people of Iraq and America. This time, we must not forget what happened, why, and by whom these things were done.
