.... "If" ........... ( a study in perspective )
--- If the PNAC were to be officially termed an anti-American subversive organization, and all its members either executed or sent to life in prison without parole......

--- And if all non-PNAC members of the Bush administration were likewise sentenced to life in prison without parole,.....

--- And if the secret participants in Cheney's "energy panel" meetings were identified and similarly consigned to life in prison without parole,...

--- And if the Iraq War-colluding CEO's and Board Members of Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, Aramco, Texaco, Unocal, Halliburton, Bechtel, KBR, etc, etc, were to be similarly sent to prison for life,.... and all their property confiscated,... and their successors told to "stay in line" or suffer the same consequences,......

... what would be the great harm to this country? Would we really miss these people? How would we be diminished as a nation? Christ, we've already killed a half-million innocent Iraqi civilians. What's the limit? The four sentences above probably specify no more than one hundred and fifty individuals. Does the comfort and ambition of a hundred and fifty rich Americans somehow supercede the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" of that half-million Iraqis? Certainly, in Bush-world it does. But what about in mainstream America?

--- Seriously,......if the first four sentences of this post were to come true,.. wouldn't this be a better country and a better world?

1. This would make a great LTTE. I wonder what percentage of
Americans actually know of the PNAC. :shrug:

2. Thanks, Preacher,......
---- DU'ers avoid me and my posts like the plague. I guess I take all the fun out of being safe and sanctimonious.

3. Sure. I've often wondered the same thing. In fact, I just had a LTTE to the same effect
published in my daily local last week. This is a class issue. The small ruling elite vs. the rest of us. Too bad "the rest of us" can not see it.

5. I'm not.
--- Frankly I don't have much use for extreme pacifists, either. Sanctimonious, moralizing dead weight. Do you plan to rehabilitate the neocons?
