••can ye pass the acid test?••

ye who enter here be afraid, but do what ye must -- to defeat your fear ye must defy it.

& defeat it ye must, for only then can we begin to realize liberty & justice for all.

time bomb tick tock? nervous tic talk? war on war?

or just a blog crying in the wilderness, trying to make sense of it all, terror-fried by hate radio and FOX, the number of whose name is 666??? (coincidence?)

what must america do to repair its image?

simple: end hypocrisy. we claim to have a government of laws. let's start acting like it.

• first, we must indict our leaders for the war crime of aggression, prosecute them, convict them, sentence them, and carry out the sentence. if we don't trust our legal system to act forthrightly and impartially, we should turn them over to the international criminal court.

• second, we must end the charade of saddam hussein's trial and turn him over to the ICC.

• third, we must admit our invasion of iraq was illegal, submit to the authority of the UN security council, tell them we are ready to withdraw our troops, and comply with their recommendations.
that's all. nothing to it.

  1. Abolishing the IMF and World Bank would be a good start.

  2. Indicting the Bush administration would be like weeding your lawn with a tweezers.
