I don't, beyond what we sing during Mass. Marcus Porcius Cato used to end his speeches, "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam" - "And therefore, I conclude that Carthage must be destroyed".
Following in his footstep, I want to say "And therefore, I conclude that Bush must be brought to justice" and "Bush must be brought to justice." Can anyone translate?
Thanks!

I think that the first two words puts 'esse delendam' in another verb mode, like the conjunctive or something. When it's not a subclause, the verb from is 'delenda est'. (I am a language teacher, but I never studied Latin.)
