Well no shit! I'm not ready to make nice. But I'm not going to dehumanize or objectify cons or neocons either. They are humans (for the most part anyway, a few possible exceptions) we need to prosecute criminals, for those who followed along for whatever reason, we give them a chance.
People I care about have changed their minds over time. I am sometimes ashamed to admit that I was hoodwinked or something into believing that Saddam had something to hide. I felt that he needed to be dealt with by the UN, not Bush's war, but I didn't believe that he had nothing to hide. Now I know the truth. Bush, Cheney, and the rest of them lied out their ass to us about this.
Rummy's gone, he is a narcissistic micromanaging ass who created the Vietnamization of Iraq. If he had listened to his generals he a) wouldn't have gone there; b) if overwhelming evidence had surfaced of WMD he'd have had a lot larger and international force. Instead he went with the army he wanted, not the one he had. How many have and will die because of that?
No, I won't hate, and punish. I will be angry. I'm not ready to make nice. I will gloat. I will push for justice for those who have committed crimes. I am not ready to make nice. In fact I had to download that song from i-tunes just because of your post!
