I am sorry if I have offended anyone. <BR/><BR/>Certainly, GWB and his minions deserve forgiveness. But the scale of the calamity and atrocity that they have perpetrated on the world demands at the least a fair accounting of their actions. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps it will even be decided that some of them should spend some time in our penal system, perhaps not. <BR/><BR/>But as people in South Africa discovered, Truth and Reconciliation are inseparable. We must name the crimes before there can be any forgiveness or pardon. To pardon this President and his administration before there is a real investigation into what happened, and some real, tangible steps to correct it on the part of the next Administration, short-circuits the path to a real fix for what is wrong.James J.

I can't count how many times my parents talked about it. Still talk about it. I've grown to feel that forgiveness should be coupled with repentance. I'm not sure if that's a "Catholic" view, and really, I don't care. I'm not seeing repentance here, so forgiveness isn't likely to make a showing either.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think they should put all these charges on hold for the time being, wait until GWB is out of office, and then start the proceedings again. Even if every last one of these people are convicted, they're just going to get pardoned in the end. Wait until the pardon ship has sailed, and then throw every last one of them in the brig.Mike Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150130562532520289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30829516.post-7812946977141323532008-08-01T08:27:00.000-04:002008-08-01T08:27:00.000-04:00here's a little idea where Jim can direct his ange...here's a <A HREF="http://www.slate.com/id/2195533/?wpisrc=newsletter" REL="nofollow">little idea where Jim can direct his anger the most</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
