Forget about impeachment, lets see them indicted

The court of public perception is finally beginning to see through the deception that has been the Bush/Cheney Presidency. You have to be pretty wealthy and economically minded at this point to be a believer in Bush and the ways he has sidestepped the law, in lue of the many factual wrongs he has committed and passed off on others. These wrongs include lying about the existence of weapons of mass destruction, the creation of a link between Sadaam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden which never existed, coercing the nation to accept his war through fear and false propaganda, the pardoning of Lewis Libby amid Bush’s attempt to cover up the truth in the CIA leak and the order of Harriet Miers to defy a congressional summons pertaining to Bush’s involvement in the dismissal of eight federal judges, to name just a few. There has never been a bigger act of fraud committed on the American people than the war that we currently find ourselves in. The fact is every loss of human life, (both American and the enemy, whomever that may be) is the direct result of the lies and deceptions of Bush and Cheney. We simply wouldn’t be where we are had the public been told the truth, rather than misled, following 9/11. Impeachment isn’t enough, we need greater action.

Bush has held no regard for the law during his Presidency, doing as he pleases and simply threatening national security the moment anyone has attempted to hold him in check. He has capitalized, disturbingly, off of the biggest act of terrorism to ever hit American soil, using 9/11 as a rallying cry for the war in Iraq, despite no connection to Afghanistan. This is treasonous in the sense that our nation has been betrayed and our government undermined. Our image has been shattered, and our global standing weakened. It is treason because our government has lost it's credibility among world powers, all through the betrayal of trust and confidence Bush has parleyed onto our country through his reckless wagings of war, profiting off of the oil he selfishly covets. He has internationally destroyed the legitimacy of our government and continues to do this unchecked. We as American citizens are the enemy of the free world, no longer the envy we once prided ourselves to be. How can we claim to be the defenders of freedom when we continue to dictate the outcomes of others, such as in Vietnam and Iraq, along with the third world economic trade market we continue to impoverish? We must assume responsibility over ourselves before another decides to again. This starts with our admission of guilt to our actions since 9/11 and a change to our international ways.

Convicting Bush and Cheney of their numerous crimes, backed with stiff sentences, while vowing to change our international policies, would go along way in restoring our credibility among the international community. We cannot fight fire with fire and assume that our actions will continue to go unchecked. Never once was there any attempt to understand the enemy’s position. Both Bush and Cheney are guilty of fraud, treason, international terrorism, murder and obstruction of justice, in viewing the ways they created and proliferated this war. It is imperative that we not allow the damage that Bush and Cheney have caused to go unpunished. All I hear are cries for impeachment, but there are far bigger issues at stake. We must set a precedent that these types of irresponsible actions will not be tolerated, and that nobody in this nation is above the law or their own social responsibilities. We need to bring justice to our leaders who have brought great injustices to so many. We need to refrain from the self righteous attitude our economical prosperity has created, and respect the interests of others all around the globe. We need to recognize that the war on terror begins on American soil. We need to convict Bush and Cheney. The truth is there for all to see.
