I think Bush & Cheney should be “disappeared.”

To watch ‘monkeyman’lie while behind his constant smirk he knows everything is insulting to the intelligence of humanity.That this regime has and is still allowed to remain in power,damaging the world,our psyches and our planet,is insane.
Since 2001 I have had a recurring dream that I am sentenced to life in prison for something I have not done.The dream occurred in different countries whenever I had it,which was often.Those dreams stopped around 2004 when it was all coming out in some of the alternative media.The dreams were terrifying.It turns out this is really happening.What has happened to the intelligence of our species? I know there are more of us who are not sadists,like the current US regime.
Bullies are always the dominators,but they are never intelligent.They rule by violence not by ethical fortitude.The consequences of staying this course of insanity{see:bush’s face,or Cheney’s,or rummy’s,tho he’s senile}is the degradation,and possible extinction of all of life.The cognative dissonance that the US,as a nation,has had to endure these last 6 yrs and counting,has nearly and possibly destroyed this country.Those of us who are sane must insert ourselves into the landscape like,an intervention by adults, and show these criminaly insane,sadistic,torture legalalizers,Constituion shredding,imposters{bush regime}to the assylum that they escaped from.They were never legally in office,why therefore are they still therre?? allowed to continue their horrorific policies.

The blatant cynicism in the regime’s lies about torture and the complacence of the citizenry over it all clearly marks a point of undeniable cultural descent—under the weight of such dehumanization we are now a civilization in virtual free fall.
