Is Bush loyal to his fellow war criminals, or does he dump them as fall guys?

Bush is not loyal to his soldiers. He sends them into battle untrained, without body armor, without vehicle armor, without gas masks. When they come home with infections and poisonings from biological and chemical weapons (that were originally supplied to Saddam Hussein by the US for his earlier war with Iran), Bush has them diagnosed as "combat fatigue" and refuses them treatment for their actual conditions but only treats them as psycho cases. And there are many other ways in which Bush and his cohorts do not support the troops. Bush is loyal only to the multinational banking and corporate elite.
I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was convicted yesterday of lying to hide war crimes committed by many or all the top members of the current Bush administration. He will likely go to jail for many years. But probably none of them will be punished for their many horrible war crimes, including knowingly false assertions that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction or was acting to obtain them, knowingly false continual insinuations that Iraq had ties with al-Qaeda and 9/11, unilateral preemptive invasion, intentional destruction of civilian water purification facilities, torture, extraordinary rendition (kidnapping and transporting to illegal detention centers in third countries where suspects may be tortured), etc., etc.

Shall we forgive everyone seventy times seven?

For our own peace of mind and heart and soul, shall we forgive everyone everything?
When we forgive, shall we automatically agree and condone and trust the person we forgave?
Shall we forget what they've done?
Should the other person admit what they've done, completely and sincerely?
Should the other person apologize completely and sincerely?
Should the other person change their ways completely and sincerely?
Should the other person make up for any damage they may have caused, completely and sincerely?
Matthew 18:15-35

How can we work together with other citizens to gradually reduce pollution and clean up our environments?
How can we work together with other citizens to gradually make our societies safer and fairer?
How can we work together to encourage crafts and arts and education and wisdom and loving kindness and culture and science at all levels of society?
Should we try to improve our governments, or should we bypass them and work together as independent citizen groups to make the important improvements in our societies by ourselves, or should we try both at once?
How can we work together to gradually make healthcare more available, less expensive, safer, more effective, and more freely diverse to include alternative methods of healthcare?
Should the laws governing healthcare favor drugs and surgery above gentler methods of healthcare, or should the laws give equal freedom to all safe effective methods of healthcare? Should drug manufacturers be trusted to decide for us what besides drugs and surgery is safe and effective, and what isn't? Should politicians accept money from drug manufacturers?
What else could we do together to gradually improve our societies and environments, and to enrich our lives?

Secrets?
|

Which of our secrets might who know about?
What are we hiding that who might know about?
What have we done that who might know about?
What have we omitted doing that who might know about?
What have we done differently that who might know about?
Who might know what we've said that we shouldn't have said?
Who might know what we've left unsaid that we should have said?
Who might know what we've said differently from what we ought to have said?
Which of our motives, intentions, purposes, plans, daydreams might who know about?
Which of our fears, terrors, paranoias, delusions might who perceive?
Can anyone read our minds?
Can anyone see through us like glass?
Can anyone perceive the pictures and voices in our imaginations?
Does anyone notice that we bitterly accuse others of whatever we do ourselves?
Do we ever try to distract, introvert, confuse, mislead, upset, weaken, or blind others so they won't perceive what we're doing and won't be able to attack us?
Are any of our compliments and jokes and constructive criticisms of others half-intended to support and amuse and help but half-intended to...?
Do others know who we are?
Do others know what we're doing?
Will we get away with it?

Are all religions based on the same three truths and one problem?
|
Feb 28, 2007 2:13 am

|
1. Loving kindness, generosity, fairness, forgiveness, inclusion, sharing.
2. Ethics, wisdom, truth, sincerity, honesty, integrity.
3. Acknowledgement of the existence and importance of spirit, that spirit is the original source of all, and ultimately or potentially in control of all, that material is not creative or causative, that any genuine sustainable growth or advancement or improvement or betterment or healing comes primarily from spirit.
Is the hardest question for all religions how to deal with people who hinder or hurt or harm?
How can one solve wanting to accept and include and believe in everyone but also wanting to protect self and others from hindrance and hurt and harm?
How can we fully harmonize love and ethics so that they strengthen and increase each other?
What are the solutions to this? Are there traditional solutions? Can we create new solutions?
Please enlighten us. Please advise us. Please help us.

Why are whales and dolphins beaching themselves?
|

Is it because of submarine sonar experiments?
Whales and dolphins, like bats, have highly developed natural echolocation. Do these human artificial sonar experiments cause these sea mammals excruciating pain and disorientation severe enough to drive them to suicide? Have autopsies of them found hemorrhaging in their brains?
Do humans have a responsibility to prevent mistreatment of animals and their habitats?

Where has the U.S. government been disposing of radioactive "waste"?

Have they been putting it into "depleted" uranium munitions to be exploded in Bosnia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq? Where next?
Has this caused cancer and birth defects to skyrocket in these countries?
Is the U.S. government also dumping radioactive "waste" in the Pacific Ocean? What effects is it causing there? Will ocean currents and migrating fish, dolphins, whales, and seabirds spread it elsewhere?
