IF our nation is ever to leave behind the
Dark Ages of the Bush era, it will require action not just words of condemnation. If we value the international law as a nation, the civil right of all human beings, the right to fair trials, habeas corpus, the right to live without the fear of unwarranted wiretaps, secret detentions, political imprisonment, exploitation of our children for wars of "luxury" that only benefit the corporate moguls who profit from them, we will have to bring these men before the courts.

Too many people in this world and in this country know that our government has abused its power and our tax money to wage war, to kill innocent Americans and Iraqis because it was lucrative.

Most people know that we have only increased the burdens of the people from these oil rich nations; the result will be that we have only added more people to the terrorist organizations who want to find revenge. Our government has the blood of terrorist victims all over the world on its hands. The day must come when we must face these crimes or we will become exactly what we condemn.

I am saddened to admit these truths, but they are now self-evident.

The last vestige of hope that we have in this nation is to use the internet to expose those companies, the same companies who own the media and who profit from engaging in endless wars. But without showing that our nation will not tolerate crimes against humanity and will not tolerate an imperial dictator who used the title of the president too loosely, we will stay in the dark ages.
