The country survived Nixon, and what he did pales compared to this gang. The only way we will ever see Bush et al prosecuted, is if we can replace every member of Congress with people who are not beholden to Giant Corporations who profit greatly from all of our wars. It appears to be our major export.
Even if we did replace the entire Congress, I'm not sure that would be enough. It has gone on for so long, they are entrenched and half the country buys the propaganda. So I guess it would take telling the people the truth about our foreign policy and it's hard to penetrate minds that have an almost cult like attachment to believing we are the 'good guys' no matter what instead of recognizing that we CAN still be the good guys but not if we have leaders who are not. That would be a very difficult task. Maybe impossible at this point.
