who have not felt the agony - to call for a phony healing - a healing without justice.
If you're not the one being tortured, bombed or detained, you can tell yourself singing Kumbaya makes it all better.
Self-deluding, feel good, warm and fuzzy sentiments don't stop the injustices - actions do.
The words mean nothing without the actions.
And if anyone expects those who have born the brunt of Bush's policy to "just get over it" - well, they have another think coming.
They won't forget. Ever.
No justice. No peace. No healing.
The anger at America now is nothing compared to the anger coming if the Bush Regime is allowed to go free.
People can forgive when they feel justice has been achieved - but deny them justice and they will tell their children, who will tell their grandchildren - and the anger festers and spreads from generation to generation.
If people believe chickens come home to roost, then they need to understand that the chickens that will come home to an America that allows war criminals to go free will bring nothing but death and destruction.
We can seek justice now or pay the price later - and it will be a very steep price.
This is about what kind of America we will leave future generations...
The kind that holds the criminals in government accountable
or the kind that wants to ignore the crimes of government for a false sense of "healing" - no matter how big of a price we have to pay later.
