In 2008 George Bush and Dick Cheney will be gone. While in office under our name they have incurred the total panoply of liabilities that we will carry well into the future.
We the present and future citizens of this country and our progeny will bear the burden of those liabilities in one form or another long after they have left the responsibility of office.
Putting aside those liabilities which are simply financial in nature, and those are enormous, I am staggered by the weight that the others represent.
The death and dismemberment of thousands upon thousands of Americans and Iraqis'.
A (quasi) civil war that is daily continuing to kill and maim more Iraqis' than Saddam did.
The overthrow of a sovereign nation that was not directly involved in 9/11.
The conversion of that nation into a training field for terrorists.
Our responsibility for the health and welfare of the Iraqi people.
The provision of a cause that has and will in the future stimulate the genesis of an unending number of terrorists.
Encouraged the coordination and cooperation among terrorists and terrorist states within and without the region.
That my friends is quite a burden.
