Before continuing down the road of extrajudicial killing, ask when will Bush & Cheney face justice? [View All]

Whether it's war or cops-and-robbers, I have a problem with the state killing whoever it pleases. So, before we continue further on down the road of state-sanctioned murder, I think it's a good idea we ask: "When will George Walker Bush and Richard Bruce Cheney face justice on charges of lying America into two illegal, immoral, unnecessary and disastrous wars?" Of course, these two also used their office to enrich their cronies inside and outside of government. They all should face charges, too.



My point is if we don't bring these two before justice, the tax-dodging, greedhead, warmonger class will know they'll never be held accountable and can get away with ANYTHING. Furthermore, no justice for Bush-n-Cheney also would mean there won't be any one in authority to stop War Inc. from deciding anyone who gets in their path is an enemy of the state. And, as we're all learning now, an enemy is someone who can be removed, without trial.

Continuing on the path we're on leads to something worse than anything we've seen in history. During the Third Reich in Germany, ancient IBM machines helped organize master lists of enemies, the secret state police rounded up those tabulated for the camps. There, cyanide-based Zyklon-B killed millions and the ovens burned the evidence. Today the state has much better technology for mass extermination.
