Madmen with nuclear weapons

I would like to recommend an article called "How Does an Era End?" about the assertion that the pendulum has begun to swing away from the extreme support for the Bush administration. Read the whole thing if you have time but what I wanted to show you is the very end:

Instead of impeachment, I would like to see a movement to arrest these people for war crimes and crimes against humanity. I would like to see Bush, Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and the rest standing in a dock in the Hague, answering to the world.

But remember Longfellow's "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad"? The gods, like the pendulum, have turned. Bush and Cheney are caged dogs. They have two more years.

Madmen with nuclear weapons and nothing to lose. We live in a very dangerous time.

It's unnerving; yes it is.

    Yes, this is a better idea than impeachment. I had forgotten the Hague. Bush and co cannot control the process or the result. It also shows the worldwide impact and rejection. Marilyn
