We live in a former Republic, now devolved to Empire.
Im not sure on this statement, many foriegn countries beleive this, I dont America isnt an empire, Bush isnt an emperor. We dont counquer land just for the hell of it, it dosent work like that anymore. Now i do beleive that the president has exercised his presidential powers but not gone over them, were at war with a group of people that hide in a nation full of innocent people, and the Geneva Convention dosent help with this.

Bush's own minions fully acknowledge – even celebrate – the deed. Nor has the political opposition or the national media offered the slightest objection to the principle of presidential murder.

Strange, isn't it? While the American Establishment is now convulsed over the issue of a president ordering wiretaps without court approval, the same president's assertion of the right to kill anyone on earth he chooses without charges, trial or judicial review is readily accepted on all sides.
If that is really happening it is a disgrace to the American people and state, its against the law and he should be swiftly removed from power along with his "minions". The president can have someone arrested and tried in court cant have them killed im pretty sure that goes over alot of the treaties weve signed over the years.
