When you stop and think about it for a moment, it really is mind-boggling. Just add it up. This administration is touched by scandal virtually from all angles and at all levels. From Plamegate/DSM to the guy in Ohio (I forget if he's a politician himself, or exactly who he is) who is alleged to have laundered his dirty money through the Bush re-election campaign. And at all points in between. It's just everywhere. And, believe it or not, there's actually a very small part of me - but an undeniable one nonetheless - which is going to feel sad when it all comes crashing down. Feel sad for the Bushies? Hell no. Just feel bad for America, that's all. This is after all, among many other things, a national tragedy. A U.S. federal government which is THIS corrupt, makes me feel sad as a foreigner looking in. I admire the United States in so many ways, and now it does really seem as though there are very stormy, and frankly very embarrassing times ahead, for the Republic. America is a beacon to the rest of the world (as is my country, Canada, I believe). Think of the voluminous scientific, medical, cultural and other advances the U.S. is responsible for. Think of some of the great political leaders too. You think of so many positives when you think of America. And now you've also got to think about a nation lied into a war of imperialistic aggression. A war all about corporate greed. A war about oil. 2000 plus dead soldiers. Dead over oil and over keeping the war widgets rolling off the assembly lines at Lockheed-Martin. It's sick and it makes me want to puke.
I just hope that when the end comes for these neo-con bastards, it comes with crystal clarity, and with merciless, unimpeachable truth.
Well...not everything should be 'unimpeachable.';)
