Justice: the Rumsfeld Version

"No crime scene exam was conducted, no autopsy conducted, no copy of medical file obtained for investigation because copy machine broken in medical office."

The Post today calls it what it is: war crimes.

Rumsfeld's trip to Iraq is a blatant effort to dispel public criticism. Meanwhile, there is a frenzy of blame-throwing going on (even Colin Powell is getting in on the act). This piece by Robert Novak highlights the blame-game between Rumsfeld and the neo-cons:

Getting rid of Rumsfeld does not answer agonizing questions. Was the change of regime in Baghdad worth going to war? Could Saddam have been removed from power by other means? Is the use of U.S. military power to topple undemocratic regimes good policy?

There are no clear answers.

Oh yes there are, and there always have been:

Was the change of regime in Baghdad worth going to war? NO.

Could Saddam have been removed from power by other means? YES.

Is the use of U.S. military power to topple undemocratic regimes good policy? NO.

The hard truth is that Rumsfeld, the neo-cons, Colin Powell, Robert Novak, George Bush and all his salivating, war-mad supporters are ALL to blame.
