Interesting. I always thought that politics was about the people, not about individual politicians.
Very revealing though what we have been learning over the past several years, disturbing but necessary.
Grayson is representative of the majority of the people on this planet right now on this issue.
I hope the WH will join the majority in backing away from what is being condemned word wide and take the advice of the UK Parliament and start prosecuting the Bush War criminals and provide some justice to the millions of their victims that they so deserve.
We have no moral authority on these issues, as the world and even our allies are now telling us until we:
1) Stop supporting dictators around the world as we are currently doing and ...
2) Clean up our own war crimes history which is still waiting for justice. IF we mean it when we say 'this cannot be tolerated'.
Until then we are viewed as nothing but hypocrites, no matter how Congress votes.
Thank the gods for people like Grayson right now so the world can see that not all Americans or their Reps are so anxious to start another disastrous war.
