punishment

President Bush's tactics prove crude. He marked his terrority in Iraq by urine washing the sand, monkey style. He wiped his ass with our constitution and waves his accomplishments in the air alongside that organ grinder, Dick Cheney. And now he must have decided to go full force with the monkey functions by spewing his diarrhea of the mouth to convince millions of Americans that despite the wishes of Congress, it is his duty to send those 21,000 troops to Iraq BY GOD. (Hey, I'm a southerner; I can get away with the phrase because I don't sound nasal.) Anyway, today I felt such disgust with the state of my country that I thought about what it would be like to put President Bush and his fellow upset tummy tree dwellers on trial for war attrocities and financial crimes.

This subject provokes a lot of ire. I figure I am past the point of worrying about ruffling a few feathers. I mean, that attitude helped Bush gain eight years in office. So let's get real and talk about what you think he should be tried for and why. And if you don't agree he should be put on trial, why not?

And by trial, I don't mean impeachment. That may be the first step, but I hope not the last. I mean on criminal trial here in the States for both charges. I think that is a stronger statement; I have yet to witness an impeachment that impressed me. I realize he could be tried by the International Criminal Court, but they usually only intervene when a country is unable to hold the trial itself. However, doing it internationally might send a meaningful message.
