Any fantasy that the United States could ‘bring democracy’ or inject stability or somehow do something praiseworthy for the Iraqi people irrevocably died with the publication of those photographs » … and: « As always, Bush takes no personal responsibility. His radio rodents like Rush Limbaugh say the photos were fake. That Bush couldn’t have known about any of this. That those reports circulating for weeks about widespread torture and abuse in the Iraqi prisons -not to mention an unknown number of apparent murders – could not have been seen by Bush, and therefore he was not responsible » … (full text).

To watch crying children stretched out on the ground, separated from their parents, dehydrated, overheated, starving….this is too much to bear. How utterly can our nation have failed? How totally bankrupt can we be? As we mourn our most colorful city, the home of our truest American music, and of so much gorgeous history and culture.we are heartsick and disgraced. These global-warmed hurricanes will be coming again and again. And with this ghastly Bush crew, soul-killing scenes like these will define our nation. » (full text ‘Flood of Fools, Bush to New Orleans’, September 2, 2005).
