I'll take "Politicians Who Can Never Again Leave America" for $200, Alex"

I have been so vehemently opposed to bush, the Neocons, Republicans, the GOP, Reaganites, Bushites, Conservatives, or whatever else they want to call themselves today that, like most people, I think, besides tearing my hair out and and being filled with disgust, despair, and derision for the bush maladministration, there is a silver lining to the cloud of disgrace bush has brought upon us.

Whenever it gets too bad, I close my eyes, sit back, relax, and remember this:

gw bush, cheney, feith, rice, and many more sycophantic cronies may never again be able to travel outside America and set foot on the soil of any country that arrests and prosecutes war criminals for fear of being arrested and tried.

Oh, there will always be countries to which they may travel, even if they have to bring half of Blackwater Security to protect them from the consequent rioting, burning of effigies, and real attempts by truly honest people to get close enough to possibly arrest any one of these people.

But it's a very short list of countries which will allow bush and cronies into their country without fears of an arrest: England, France, Albania, Japan, Germany, maybe Russia, and the Philippines, possibly. There are no doubt a few others would allow a visit, but I would wager that the countries who hate us and would like to see bush/cheney prosecuted for war crimes far outnumber the few remaining allies we have for now.

So take heart that these people will suffer a virtual exile here in America and never again be able to travel overseas without having to constantly watch their backs and having to live in the very fear they tried to impose on Americans.

After all, they could find themselves being "extraordinarily rendered" to a regime that will send these Neocons away for a very long time.
