There will, however, be a long period of collective introspection after the war. It will, hopefully, be a period of reconciliation and regeneration. The central task of the president we elect in 2008 will be to bind up the nation's wounds and to rediscover the country's fundamental bearings. Recognizing the breadth of responsibility for the Iraq disaster, down to the level of the individual citizen, must be part of that process. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17678.htm Meanwhile? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=impeach+now&btnG=Search http://www.impeachnow.org/ What most concerns us and always has, has been the policies of Bush and Cheney, as objectionable as they are as persons and deserving of punishment. This needs to be said because while we may not be able to remove them from office in the near term, we can begin organizing to disable their policies now and succeed in the foreseeable future, even within a year. Although this too will take time and an immense effort on the part of citizens, it is doable. This would involve a ratcheting up of the peace movement and re-framing it. It would require a concerted effort to incapacitate the war machine by economic sanctions launched by citizens against the military-industrial complex, by increased anti-recruitment tactics as the war itself is substantially cutting back on re-enlistments, by supporting the conscientious non-compliance of the military |
