29. Both should be blamed

First, Bush should be charged, then we should all take a real hard look at what has been allowed to continue. I'm really not sure what the best thing is to do with people who keep a crime going. I don't like the idea of applying the same rage at them, but I don't like letting them off the hook either. Best way is to try to prevent abuses in the future by making sure those who started it go to prison for at least as long as the pot smokers.
