John Yoo, Enabler
i watched my country fall apart over the past seven years. our leaders have failed us, repeatedly. we as voters have failed, repeatedly.
America has never been perfect but the American people seem to have become indifferent to the ideals and principles on which the country was founded.
the Neocons, lead by Cheney and Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Feith and Rove put the sock puppet Bush on the stage and we followed him right into the abyss. virtually every aspect of American life, every institution, and, yes, this includes the military, and many millions of individual Americans are complicit in this debacle.
if we should decide that we are ready to really recognize our responsibility in this shameful mess we may, eventually, restore our nation in some meaningful way. i am not sure we are ready. the last i heard, impeachment is still off the table, but even if it isn't it's probably too late before the sock puppet has made his last exit, stage right.
a lot of other things need to happen but if we aren't willing to confront the blatant criminality that urgently lead us down to the depths where now we find ourselves we stand just as guilty. what happens when cancer is ignored?
