Who's Responsible?

EXCUSE ME, but it seems that the tyrant in the White House could use some education regarding responsibility. First and foremost, the Bush administration's history of blatant disregard of constructive input and suppression of dissenting opinions are a testament to the unreasonable nature of this nation's current leaders. It's simply absurd to attempt to place responsibility for the fiasco in Iraq on people who tried their best to warn the warmongering Bush cronies of how their rush to invade Iraq under false pretenses would result in the current state of affairs by saying that "To oppose everything while proposing nothing is irresponsible."

A responsible leader would have considered the many suggestions that were made before embarking upon the ill-conceived course which was destined to yield such a quagmire. Many truly patriotic Americans and leaders of other nations offered pragmatic options which would have avoided the outcome that Bush was hell-bent to produce. However, this administration, which usurped power via dubious means, chose to pursue their short-sighted narrow minded agenda, while suppressing dissent at every turn.

All along, very responsible and informed people, Democrat and Republican alike, have offered plans and suggestions to try to mitigate the unconscionable situation in which we now find ourselves. To this very day, they continue to do so. The fact that the President sticks his fingers in his ears like a petulant five year-old and refuses to hear them does not negate the fact that they have, indeed, been brought to the table.

Now, the only reasonable option left to regain some credence as a benevolent, freedom-loving nation is to hold those who've perverted our government into one that rules by terror accountable to the people they have wronged, of America and around the world. Regime change with trials for subverting the Constitution at home and engaging in human rights violations abroad is the most promising proposal to mitigate the crimes of the miscreants who hijacked the government of the United States and restore some semblance of international respect for America and her people.
