   Falsely crying fire in a crowded theater is a traditional example of the illigal use of speach. Knowingly making false claims that lead predictably to the death of tens if not hundreds of thousands is a crime of unspeakable magnitude, If it isn’t formally a crime, then it is the system itself that is criminal.

   Either we hang Bush, Cheney, Feith and the other Bush war criminals or we apologize to the Nazis and Japanese who were hanged for starting wars of aggression. These people are the greatest enemies this nation ever had - when the President of the US is a war criminal, the country is disgraced. And the millions of morons who re-elected this criminal are complicit in the ongoing crime that is the war in Iraq. Who can be proud to be an American?

   Interesting that the human animal is the only one willing to kill for an idea … of course, the human animal is also the only one capable of having an idea (at least, so we think). Whether it’s falsifying information that leads to a war or “hanging” those who do such things, killing for an idea comes much too easy.

   So accountability is just an idea? Under your logic we can never hold mass murderers accountable for their actions because to do so is an idea that comes much too easily. The effect of starting an unlawful war is to be hanged. That’s no idea that comes too easy. It’s simple Buddhism, Dharma Pup.

   Sorry, Ron. Didn’t know it was “Buddhist” to want to kill somebody. Which sutra is that in?

   DP, you are putting words in my mouth - a rather ineffective debating technique. I said we should either hang or apologize. You converted that into an accusation that I have a desire to kill. What a mean-minded twist of what I said! And waiving accountabilty as if forbidden by the sutras is absurd. The sutras speak of the hell of pulling out tongues and numerous other hells. I don’t doubt that Bush will hang millions of times for all the death he has rained down upon innocent people. Again I say we should either hang Bush or apologize to those who were hanged for doing what he is doing. There is no desire to kill in that simple statement. You supplied that interpretation.
