For the love of christ – please put a democrat back in the White House . 6.5 years of Bush Jnr has been a complete disaster for the entire world.

Thank christ that Australia’s elections are conducted properly – we will never have a hanging chad!!

Peace

There is nothing radical about wanting a legitimate government that doesn’t abuse its power. Two years ago, my conservative friends here in the US called me a radical leftist for imagining a 2006 election that tossed out the GOP majority and an electorate that would become vocal in its opposition to the war in Iraq and in support of the impeachment of George Bush. Two of those predictions have already come true and if the impeachment issue was given a full hearing, I am sure the majority of voters, including most of my conservative friends, would be in favor of it. The overwhelming sentiment is that Bush is a bad leader, a liar and the worst president in living memory.

Sure, I remember that the Democrats who won ran as moderates. But now it is time for them to do what is right: restoring our rights as Americans, re-establishing the checks and balances of our constitutional government, and renewing our country’s integrity with our international neighbors. Most Americans are proud of what our country once stood for and the positive things we have accomplished in the past. But no one can look at the last six years and say about the US that it was our finest hour. We should all be ashamed for the crimes of the Bush regime.

Thats not what the American people want only the radical left. I hope you try though and show your true colors. Remember the Dems that got in did so running as moderates or conservatives.

Please do try to indict the president.

One of the first acts of the 110th Congress must be to initiate impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney, including the immediate appointment of special prosecutors. In the event that our own Congress does not act, the UN should use the International Criminal Court to prosecute this administration for war crimes, just as it has been doing for defendants and victims in the former Yugoslav Republic, Serbia and Montenegro.

Each month, according to what I’ve heard in the news, an average of 100,000 Iraqis leave Iraq as refugees. Each month, thousands of Iraqis die in sectarian violence that simply did not exist prior to the US invasion. Every day, an average of 2 more US soldiers die in the streets of Iraq, usually at the hands of people who they never even see. As bad and corrupt as Saddam Hussein was, he can at least be credited with holding together a nation that has now literally come apart at the seams. Yes, he did it with an iron hand, but from my travels in the Middle East, I know firsthand that most people I’ve spoken with acknowledge the need for some countries to be led by men like Saddam; that without them, those nations would disintegrate into a patchwork of fiefdoms, just as they existed before Western Imperialists came there to exploit the region’s hydrocarbon resources. If America had the energy independence of Brazil, Saddam Hussein would today still be in power and would probably be negotiating the purchase of F-18 fighters from the Bush Administration, instead of sitting in a jail cell awaiting death by hanging. Incidentally, Iraqi law forbids the execution of people over the age of 70. Saddam turns 70 on 28 April 2007, less than five months from today.

Right.. it was .. the tools that hijacked this government thought money would buy the government they wanted in Iraq just like it does here.. unfortunately for thier megalomaniacal master plan they discovered in Iraqi politics the dollah doesnt go as far as allah…

we found a convicted fraudster and embezzler to tell us what we wanted to hear about saddam….. granted, he was convicted by a military court, but i dont see many right wingers complaining about the validity of a military court..
