The only solution left to the U.S. occupation of Iraq is to impeach Bush. Once the impeachment process begins, the international community will begin to embrace America again for coming to its senses. International engagement will precipitate the need to work together to aid everyday Iraqi's in at least regaining electricity and running water. The political strife will not be solved anytime soon and will require diplomacy measures agreed to by neighboring countries and governments of the world.
Bush got his revenge. He removed his father's picture from the floor of Saddam's palace. Killed Saddam, his sons and his grandson. Not only did he send 3,000 plus young men and women to die for his revenge, but he wants to send more. His cohorts may have had other reasons for their push to invade Iraq and found the right vehicle through George W. They too need to be punished. Since the onset of this mess it was revealed that Cheney & Co. had their sights set on this and put it in writing too. Using the lives of enlisted Americans as tools in their mad plan is reprehensible. To take for granted that hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians would be killed, injured and mentally abused, is unforgivable.
Iraq never posed a threat to the U.S. Invading that country on faulty intelligence has been a huge disgrace. Every member of the Bush cabinet and all its advisers should suffer the consequences of their misdeeds. They should all be tried for war crimes. Tony Blair and the rest of the coalition of the willing too.
Their own personal purses should be raided to fix everything they broke in Iraq. Bush and Cheney should personally fund the families of servicemen and women that are lost without their providers and servicemen that have lost limbs and are no longer able to provide for their families. All corporations, like Halliburton, that made billions from this debacle, must provide for the orphans, injured citizens and displaced people of Iraq. The American people and the people of the world should not have to cover those expenses.
