1. Stalin: "One death is a tragedy. A million deaths are a statistic."

I hate to imagine the Bush/Cheney/Rice/Rumsfeld/etc. cabal's version of that 'observation'.

Is there even one area, one possible facet of our society that this gang of liars, thieves and warmongers has not totally raped for their own desires and spoils and gains?

Maybe there is a court somewhere, that someday will administer justice to these criminals for their activities. We bear the shame of a nation that stood by, 'patriotically', while they have violated OUR OWN CONSTITUTION and nearly every INTERNATIONAL law/treaty that did not serve their purposes.

I just want them gone.
