Impeachment is not enough
If you are unaware of the view most of the world has of the US right now please check out these very recent threads

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3929348

and another story out today on torture at gitmo

http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2005/06/23/guantanamoabuse0623.html

I think in order for the US to begin to regain the respect of the world that there first needs to be an impeacment and then Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and other top officials and military officers need to be handed over to the War Crimes Tribuneral at the Hague.

5. It happened in Yugoslavia
and many other countries - that's what I'm saying, It's time for the US to rejoin the real world.

4. there would need to be some serious war crimes trials
not only that, all of the injustices and corruption would need to be exposed and the corporations and crooks that plundered our country in the destruction of iraq need to be dismantled and restitution be made to all of us.

7. Only way this will happen is...
if enough people have the guts to stand up and demand that something be done, and that means taking to the streets if necessary.

9. and the way to apply internal pressure is....
If each member of DU would just donate $100,000 (or more) to the pukes, then they would listen to us. We could become influential.

Or not.

10. Here is a proposal.
After the War Crimes Trial,
Bush, Cheney, Wolfie, Rummy, Condo, Pearle, Hannity, and Limbaugh are sentenced to Life in a special plexiglass enclosure in the New York Zoo where they will be forced to construct an Abu Gharib Naked Pyramid 3 times per day.

Children will be encouraged to throw feces at them while they perform..

A sign above the enclosure will read:
Children, this is what happens to you if you vote Republican!

11. I'd only change one thing...
you can have a link via satellite at the New York Zoo but the actual attraction should be at the Bhagdad zoo...since most of their animals are escaped or dead they need to revenue (plus it would be a bigger draw there)
