But if the rest of the world could drag our asses into a World Court heres how I'd
sort it out as supreme judge and executioner. (I know that this is in and of itself a tad fascist but I found this a cathartic and enjoyable exercise anyway;

The Cabal- GW and his puppeteers. Life in prison with mandatory face to face encounters with those affected by the war. The injured and surviving family members (of any nation) would get priority visitation privileges, forever.

The Congress- Each member would have to defend his or her actions in court. Prison sentences would be meted out or not based on the jury's perception of the individuals
real knowledge and understanding of the facts at the moment. if a case could be made that the person was not well educated to begin with and has
always been a sucker for flags and brass bands then this person would be deemed a lesser evil. If the individual was intelligent, very well educated
like, lets say Hillary or Joe Lieberman, then that person would have to defend their support of an illegal war. They would have to convince the jury that despite
skepticism among their own constituents that they were just blown away by all the incontrovertible evidence in favor of commencing on a crime against
humanity and an attack on our civil rights. They could still win compassion if in defending themselves they displayed, perhaps for the first time, some honesty
about their actions.

The People- We would be required to continue to look at ourselves each day in the mirror and let our consciences decide our reward.
Those without a conscience will continue to try to distract us with hatred of others, with red herring issues like gay marriage, immigration
flag burning, abortion, gun ownership and on and on.

Maybe if all that came to pass the nation would appreciate the value of the humanities and the value of teaching our children, our citizens, how to think and not just
how to follow. Maybe we would be sure our citizens were educated in history and the great and not so great civilizations that have preceded us and 'done it all before.'
