GW Bush and Gang have amply demonstrated time and time again ever since 9/11 that they have total contempt for the rule of law (even the laws by which they had sworn to govern the USA!)
So just what have US citizens done about any of that?
-- Did they prevent their pusillanimous Congress from handing over $ 500-odd billions to fund that war founded on those famous "WMD lies"?
-- Did US citizens force Congress to impeach GW Bush, Dick Cheney and others of that Gang of war criminals?
-- Have they properly try to throw these war criminals out of power who've been leading the world's sole superpower since 2000?
-- Have they put GW Bush and Gang into jail where they belong?
(There's plenty of other stuff available from the shameful record of GW Bush and Gang).
No! No!! No!!! No!!!! No!!!!... ...NO!!!!!! (Ah yes, but GW Bush's 'approval ratings' have dropped to the lowest ever for any President since -------who?? Moses??)!
Great! Wonderful!! That is really HEROIC!!! All war criminals must be sh*tting themselves in fear and trembling!!!!
So now let's break out those chilled six-packs, bring out the barbecue, have some real good FUN!!!
As GW Bush, War Criminal, would say, "Yippididooyay!" (I know I do not quite have the idiom right. Sorry about that, but surely that can be fixed quite easily. What can't be fixed is the fact that these war criminals seems to be getting away with their crimes).

Proven Coward(s): GW Bush and Dick Cheney likewise both evaded the draft when it was his/their turn in Vietnam. Today, as POTUS - and V-POTUS, respectively - they joyfully spend billions bombing I-RACK (to bring democracy to that fortunate country?)
Proven Business Failure Incompetent: Check out GW Bush's business record: "George Walker Bush"

and
"Bush as businessman"

Ah, yes, Dick Cheney was a brilliant business success! His record at Halliburton (particularly after he became V-POTUS!) is most revealingindeed.
GW Bush has now revealed his brilliant business sense by spending US $ 500-billion odd to remove Saddam Hussein when just a little honesty in setting the US international policies after 9/11 would have won everything for the US - without either of the two disastrous wars he has undertaken...
Proven Torturer: Long before the actions of his military and other instruments shamed the US at Abu Ghraib and Guantanmao, GW Bush had revealed his black heart and soul and mind when he was Governor of Texas: he joyfully sent over 150 people to the execution chamber; that he did this joyfully is revealed in the way he mocked Karla Faye Tucker on her telephoning him for mercy on the morning fixed for her execution: after her call, which he took in silence, he put the phone down and turning to his visitor, GW Bush, good Christian that he is, sneered in that inimitable GW Bush way: "She said: 'Please, please, Governor, please spare me, don't kill me! Don't....!!' " (Or words to that effect).
Proven Liar: Remember the WMD ? (Question: has GW Bush spoken a word of truth in his entire life? Doubtful, in my view).
Proven War Criminal: He LIED to US citizens about WMD in I-RACK to get their approval for his private war against Saddam. He LIED to CONG-US (the US Congress) to get them to fund his dirty little war. He launched a war based on LIES!
The 'high moral points' of the GW Bush administration (which now are indelibly linked with the USA for all time to come: Abu Ghraib; Guantanamo
And US citizens have not forced his impeachment, have not yet put the scoundrel and his Gang in Jail!!
(This was doubtless at one time the hero most adored by 'bucks4McCain', who has now transferred his alleigance to John McCain).
Well, let's just forget and ignore sadsack 'bucks4McCain': he is a pathetic fool and truly negligible. But do look at the way even you thinking US citizens have allowed your democrcy to be hijacked by GW Bush and his Gang of War Criminals! Here is a case of total lack of accountability of US leaders to US citizens...your real problem is obviously: "To enforce accountability on your leaders"
(To be fair - "lack of accountability from our leaders" is a problem shared to some extent by most 'democracies' [and of course all dictatorships - the democratic form at least enables citizens to question their leaders which dictatorships do not permit]. But the US does seem to demand much less accountability from its POTUS than most other nominally democratic nations do from their leaders - the best case history for this claim being the 8-year reign of GW Bush, now thankfully drawing to its shameful end).

The words:
"...(which now are indelibly linked with the USA for all time to come: Abu Ghraib; Guantanamo)"
should have read:
"...(which now are INEXTRICABLY linked with the USA for all time to come: Abu Ghraib; Guantanamo)"
Sorry about that.

The simple, direct response to LW that Cary should probably have made:
"Stuck" - you should have signed yourself as "Slut". To my mind, you are no better than your friend's fiance who sleeps around.
