With fixed terms, this could have been done this year, but it is still worth noting for future reference.
In time for the Rally to Restore Sanity, every House, Senate and Gubernatorial candidate should have been asked to sign a public repudiation of belief in “al-Qaeda”, of belief in “the global terrorist network”, of belief in “Taliban” distinct from the Pashtun as a whole, of belief in any connection between Afghanistan and 9/11, of belief in any connection between Iraq and 9/11, of belief in WMD in Iraq, of belief in such WMD as a threat to America even if they had existed, of belief in an Iranian nuclear weapons programme, of belief in such a programme as a threat to America even if it existed, of birtherism, of trutherism, of comparison between Obama and Hitler, of comparison between Bush and Hitler, and of LaRouche.
For a start, anyway.

I would also add that much of the media should be forced to sign such a public repudiation. For example, you rarely hear much about why we went to war in Iraq anymore, which is disgraceful and disrespectful to the war dead of every nation involved. Where are the WMDs? Has everybody forgotten? Does anybody even care?
ReplyDeleteNo, instead the Iraq War is being reported as a humanitarian mission, even though the American public was sold primarily on the WMD claim, and the U.S. was happy to be friends with Saddam when it was in our interest, like when he fought Iran.
