bitter tears

The Alberton Papers, Vol. II, #19
By Dick Darne 10-16-06
"The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone" Harriet Beecher Stowe
Over 2700 of our young people who will never sing their song. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women and children will never get to sing their song either. All for the lies of a few. And the loud echos of the facilitators. And for the gullibility of many enablers. And those of us who didn’t do enough.
It began even before the lies. George W. Bush was never qualified to be anything. The facilitators didn’t report it. The lies began and not only was it not reported, they repeated them. Keep in mind that all these loudmouth chickenhawks either avoided military service or avoided any danger. Their children have also avoided being in harms way. It was provable lies that got us in this mess, lies piled on lies about the lies. Lies about anyone who disagrees with them. Lies about the lies by the people who should be challenging the lies.
Lies to justify shredding our Constitution. Lies to abandon the principles our country was founded on.
I’ve had enough! I absolutely love this country, but I hate what these idiots are doing to it. Habeas corpus literally means "produce the body", it used to protect all of us from being held without knowing what the alleged offense is. Now anyone deemed by the "decider" to be a terrorist can be locked up. Or "disappeared". Handy way to eliminate the opposition.
We need change but more than that we need accountability. Impeachment is in order, conviction if the evidence warrants it. Followed by appropriate punishment. Only then can the needed catharsis begin.
We owe it to those who will never get to sing their song. dd

Do we owe anything to the thousands of innocents murdered by the Sadam regime?
Should we have stuck our heads into the sand as we did with Hitler?
Does the biggest guy on the block have to sit by and watch while a bully beats somebody?
