In a just world George Bush would be led from the White House in handcuffs and sentenced to serve for the rest of the war on a medivac chopper in Iraq caring for the wounded and transporting the dead - in a plea bargain he would be allowed to wear his flight suit with the helmet - the one he wore in May 2003 when they stuck him in the back seat of a jet fighter and flew him to an aircraft carrier in the San Diego harbor for that idiotic mission accomplished photo op.
My second choice would be making him drive around America with the military detail responsible for knocking on doors to tell people that their son or daughter was killed in Iraq. These officers would say to the loved ones - "and now over here is former President Bush with a free flag and an apology".
If we can't bring an immediate end to the most disastrous, dishonest foreign policy debacle in American history - that has caused domestic and international damage to our nation that will be felt for generations- we should at least insist on an honest vocabulary.
Politicians and talking heads, with no kids in Iraq, should be required to refer to US forces there as "other people's sons and daughters". For example - VP Darth Cheney would have to say that it is disloyal to question the hoax he and his neo con men sold the public as a cover for sending "other people's sons and daughters" to invade and destroy Iraq instead of seizing the historic, and now lost, opportunity for the US to lead a united world, both militarily and politically, against the stone age mass murderers responsible for 9-11.
Referring to US forces as other peoples fathers, mothers, husbands and wives, sisters and brothers - would also be acceptable.
