Ramsey Clark/ Shock and Awe/ Impeachment

Let's just look at the first paragraph or two of Ramsey Clark's latest letter. To not be outraged by what you read, one would need to be completely lacking in empathy. To do what the media has done, or not done as the case may be, would be an accomplice to this crime. Do people not imagine? Because as I read this, I imagined. It's not something the criminal often does. But don't just imagine Falluja. Imagine your town. I belive this is the only way we can make this a better world. Right now there is only a force field of negativity eminating from. We must become a responsible nation. We must think about how this would look in our own home town. Your business, gone. Your child, gone. Your town, ruined. We have to imagine. This has been a crime of large magnitude. Not a traffic infraction. And it must be punished. I don't like those words. But when the president's office is filled by a common person with no morals, we now see what can happen. The next president who thinks they can do this without consequences, must be deterred.

The list of Bush's crimes is long. The “Shock and Awe” invasion was Bush’s war of aggression -- a crime identified as the “the Supreme international crime” by the Nuremberg Tribunal. Remember Falluja, the American Guernica, a virtual destruction of a defenseless city by superior military technology (36,000 homes, 8,400 shops destroyed in the final assault alone); Abu Ghraib, the shameful celebration of sick forms of sexual torture; Haifa Street, Baghdad, where a U.S. helicopter gun ship killed 13 unarmed people and injured 50 dancing around a burned out Bradley Armored Vehicle; Abu Shifa, a small village, where U.S.. soldiers were accused of rounding up civilians, forcing them into a room, then opening fire, killing 11 people, including a 75 year-old, a 6 month-old baby, and five children under the age five; Haditha, where Marines murdered 15 defenseless civilians, and injured many more, most women and children; and tiny Guantanamo, where the U.S. has compiled human rights violations in four years that have been denounced by the entire world including the United Nations. Yet President Bush arrogantly refuses to close the Guantanamo prison, or return the land and sovereignty to Cuba while U.S. officials fret over three prisoners who committed suicide in one day to “embarrass the U.S.”

The grand total of civilian deaths in Iraq is probably more than 250,000, and rapidly growing. (The Lancet Medical Journal) U.S. military deaths exceed 2500, the seriously injured number more than 15,000 and the number who will suffer mental and physical impairment from the occupation of Iraq is in the unknown tens of thousands.

I don't always agree with him, but he is an unremitting force for good in the world.

I had the pleasure and privilege of seeing and hearing him speak in person at the anti-war, anti-Bush rally and march in D.C. in Oct. of '03; he was a very eloquent, powerful speaker.

much we can do about it with the spineless cowards in the House and Senate. Of course the lack of conscience amongst the American people is astounding as well.

They know what's coming. Been saying this for over four years now.
Will Americans allow ourselves to be taken like lambs to slaughter?

We have a collective guilt and must act to atone. Voting in '06 or '08 just won't be enough...
