Actually Hitler had more reason to attack Poland than Bush had for Iraq.

Certainly Bush should be impeached or held to account as a war criminal but please don’t forget to impeach or indict William Jefferson Clinton along with him.
There is much soul searching, and rightly, about the illegal attack on Iraq but the fact that Clinton illegally attacked and then bombed a defenceless civilian population for 78 days and nights destroying the infrastructure of a sovereign state without any vote in Congress or declaration of war all on what is now known to be the staged and phony ‘massacre’ at Racak and mythical ‘ethnic cleansing’.
Had the world not chosen to believe the same lies about the Serbs - read non existent mass graves for non existent WMD - Iraq would probably never have happened. Had the American people through their political representatives refused to violate international law by attacking and murdering the Serb poeople, the meltdown caused by the Iraq war may have remained a nightmare. What goes round comes back to haunt. Many of us find it hard to expend much more than crocodile tears over the US’s bankruptsy.
The fact that war criminal Bush has just added illegal insult to injury by recognising the criminal narco/state of Kosovo as ‘independent’ in violation of international law and resolution 1244 of the UN just makes things worse and could, after the brutal attack on the Serbs in the last day or two in Northern Kosovo - still their own state in the eyes of the UN - lead to confrontation with Russia.
Bearing in mind that one of the worst of all those involved in the war crimes against the Serbiam people is Richard Holbrooke (I understand this is not his previous Jewish name - someone might be able to clarify this point)- is tipped as the next Democratic Secretary of State - the sooner he is before the The Hague tribunal the better.
Until this evil bunch at the top of both parties in the US political pyramid is cleaned out the USA will continue to be a menace to the peace and security of the entire planet.

None of this has anything to do with Bush being a terrible person, of course Bush is a terrible person…and if someone wants to obsess about him as a passtime that’s their bussiness. The present situation is the inevitable outcome of the social dynamics of the political class in Washington. The solidarity of that class and its common interests have effectively abrogated the separation of powers written into the Constitution. In 1787 it was assumed that federal politicans would be like UN ambassadors today (more so, because of greater transportation barriers), that is, they would live in, and gain their livelyhood from, their respective states except to meet perrenially to adjudicate issues where the interest of their respective sections were at logerheads. Today the “community” is Washington itself. This doesn’t mean that they are having lunch with each other on a daily basis…but often enough that the communal values of the political class define their reality. Oh yes, and there are two dense clusters of relationships within that class, called the Democrats and the Republicans. Their petty rivalries don’t make for democracy any more than the Green and Blue factions did in Constantinople. The social solidarity cuts across distinctions like executive, legislative and judicial, not to mention archaic sectional differences. Or to put it in a nutshell…how can you araign someone for “high crimes and misdemeanors” when you have them on your social schedule next week?

Yes congress should be held accountable also.

We need to prevent this from ever happening again.

Yes absolutely. I blame congress as much if not more. They are the ones who threw out the constitution. In no way did they have legal authority to cede their duty to the president.

Did congress authorise the war without a declaration of war?!
Any one who planned it,any one voted for it,any one who supported it,and any one who cheered it should be held accountable.The Iraqi people were held responsible for Sadam invasion of Kuwait for over a decade.

One more point…the action taken by Congress and the president has caused the displacement of 4Million Iraqis. 2M left the country and 2M unable to leave have no homes. Disgusting and disgraceful.

To Tim R. Yes, every congressman and senator who voted for
the war should be impeached and put on trial also. And if they are now out of office, they should be tracked down. Their voice of aggression put our country in jeoporady and caused the death of 1M plus innocient Iraqis, 4000 of our troops, 28,000 injured and 298,000 mentally distrubed military because of what they did to innocent people. Impeach? Yes, and then put on trial.
