Long after Bush, Cheney, Powell, and the rest his neocon war criminal crowd are gone, America will be paying the price.
The years of violence and war perpetrated against weak nations already crippled by internal strife and economic sanctions will haunt this nation for a hundred years. The deaths of tens of thousands of Afghan and Iraqi civilians by bombing, and bullets, and by poisoning their water, soil and air with depleted uranium munitions, will continue to sicken and kill the inhabitants of these ancient lands for many years to come.
The survivors and their descendants will hate America for this.
And those citizens of America who, through fear or ignorance, supported the war criminal Bush, will eventually see their own sons and daughters and grandchildren drafted and sacrificed in some distant war, while their jobs are sent out of the country by the millions.
And the soldiers of America, the everyday men and women in uniform, ordered to commit these atrocities in the name of freedom and liberty, also become accessories to the crime. But many of those who survive, long after the war and occupation has ended, will begin to realize how they were doublecrossed by the Pentagon and Commander-in-Chief, when they begin to fall ill and die from the depleted uranium fired from their own weapons. Like the victims of Agent Orange before them, their children will suffer from birth defects.
Innocent victims born long after the end of hostilities will suffer the consequences of the mass deceit of an entire nation by men whose only concern was that of profit and power.
And the everyday working people of America, whose taxes finance this carnage, have also been made accessories to the crime. Those who meekly hand over their money without so much as one word of protest share the shame and responsibility, as do those whose votes give encouragement and legitimacy to the illegitimate farce these corrupt politicians refer to as the 'War on Terror.'
