Can we blame Bush, Gonzales and Rumsfeld?
I think so, and I think they all should stand trial for war crimes. Anyone who are still defending those men as somehow righteous or democratic need to have their heads examined.

This is a travesty, not only of justice, but it has opened the floodgates of the worst human attributes, namely the "bringing it on" of torture and civil war. Sadam Hussein ruled with an iron fist but his country was UNDER CONTROL and functioning. Now it's a free-for-all, provided by your tax dollars and slick media propaganda.
Have at it.

"Clash of civilizations", my foot.
All hail GWB, the new Caesar.
