Small point to the U.S. regime, perhaps, that the rest of the world now sees Bush and his militarism as the most dangerous threat they face. At least 28 troops now face charges stemming from the deaths of Iraqis, fourteen have already been convicted, three acquitted. Easier to conjure clean hands on Pontius Pilate than absolve the calculating bunch at the head of this military plutocracy.
I wonder what it is that makes the republicans in power hate democracy so? Is it the limits that our system of justice threatens to place on their militarism? Is it the scrutiny our justice system imposes on their summary convictions in their 'terror war'? Or, is it something deeper; some inherent hatred of our democracy, its checks and balances placing limits on their ability to reign supreme?
Condi, Rummy, Bush, and others are looking on with sad resignation as their protege' Maliki angles to release the bulk of the captured Iraqis the Americans so coveted, even as the marauding forces increase the numbers of Iraqis held every day as a result of their continued raids and military muckraking.
