Will anyone here be able to get past the Iraq war if no senior official

is ever punished for their at most illegal actions and at least incompetence?

I don't know if I'm asking this question right, but in a perfect world we would never had gone to war with Iraq in the first place. But since we certainly can't have that, I could at least be able to put this behind me at some point when this tragedy is all over if senior people were held accountable. Then I least I would be able to tell myself "well people will think twice before they try that bullshit again."

At this point with no one but, out of control low ranking troops and mid level officers going to jail and don't get me wrong in most cases these people deserve that. I say most cases because I firmly believe that a lot of these troops were acting under someone's supervision who should have known and did know what they were up to and those persons should be in the cell next to them. I also believe there are some down right injustices going on where troops have reported shit and been punished to cover some supervisor's ass. I also think even those that are being punished are receiving extremely light sentences for the crimes they are alleged to have committed which sends up a red flag in my mind.

At any rate I don't see myself ever being able to let go of the pain and hurt I feel for everyone involved in this because a vast majority of my countrymen had their head up their asses and let this happen.

1. I won't get past it if

something isn't done about Rumsfeld. I don't want to have to wait for the history to be written for someone to tell the truth and get him out of there because of his absolute incompetence.

2. Kissinger didn't get his so don't hold your breath.

At least Rummy won't be able to go on a nice European vacation with out having a sit down with the international court lawyers over that nasty little German lawsuit.

5. No breath holding here

Blue isn't my best color.

3. Corruption breeds corruption. No one will be accountable for Iraq

unless those who reject the corruption start opening their mouths.

4. Not just no, but hell no

I've been angry since I heard on the radio this afternoon that the White House finally determined there were no WMDs. The only thing that would satisfy me right now is if the 51%ers either start impeachment proceedings right away or if they can't do that, as it is the only decent thing to do, I want to hear a collective big bang as they eliminate themselves from the gene pool.
