That includes Donald Rumsfeild. Unfortunately nothing can be done while they are in office (other wise Bush would also face charges) because of the fact that they have made them selves immune.

No-one has anything else to say? This is pretty big. Men who have commited large scale crimes are finally being held accountable for their actions.

Capitalism sucks man, it's an extrememly flawed and unfair economic system. Didn't work in the 20s, isn't going to work now.

[billytalentisshweet]

And we do have the power to stop it, but it won't happen because people are too ignorant to care.

So basically you are leaning towards communism? has the past taught you nothing? Why do you think it has failed in so many countries?

absolute power corrupts absolutely

you will never find a working communistic state, never. People are inherently greedy, looking out only for ourselves, our sense of community is imposed upon us by the society we live in (there is a viscious cycle, think about it )

an example would be castro and his party, clearly cuba is not in a good way, and yet they are communistic. Now, im not saying that the ideals of communism are wrong, they are in fact a definition of utopia, im saying that it is not possible for such conditions to align to create such a society.

In the end we will always end up doing what is best for us, therefore it is impossible to set up communism because you will never find a person or party that will lead and "just set up" communism and then back down.

Also after it is all set up, what then? there can be no body of power to enforce the laws...therefor leading to anarchy.

There are alot of posers out there preaching communism without thinking it through, use your brain, if you research stuff on the internet think it through and cross reference it. It would seem that you are too ignorant to care, not the others who dont support your notions of a non-capitalistic world

Now, the fact that they have made themseves immune (now referring to post #1) is irrelevant, they are immune now but not forever, their term in office is coming to an end and then they will be persecuted. We have to put our faith in the capitalistic and democratic system, without it there is a good chance we would end up like many, many poor third world countries, or like cuba (i dont know if it's third world or not..) and you wouldnt want that for your mother country Canada would you?

i await an intelligent apply :)

I didn't say anything about Communism.

I do know that communism doesn't work, but the USSR and Cuba arn't examples of Communism, they have leaders and police creating a social heirarcy of power, thus not making it a pure communist society. There has never been a real communist system.

Also after it is all set up, what then? there can be no body of power to enforce the laws...therefor leading to anarchy.

Real anarchy (not the stupid 'now laws, rob riot and kill' mainstream idea or it) could theoreticly work. A country would be divided up, the whole money based economic system would be thrown out and smaller communities would have volenteers elected to make x decisions for the comunity. The communities would trade goods and services to one another thay they couldn't get them selves, and would disipline each other by imposing sanctions.

Idealy it would be just like how the Nativie Americans lived way back when.

All capitalism does is take away things like health care, welfare, minmum wage and a (close to) free public education system. It give opourtunities to multi national cooperations to exlploit our rights (in the name of preserving free trade) and create more wealth for the wealthy and more poverty for the vast majority of poor people. Look at Iraq and New Orleans. The war proiteers are going nuts in Iraq and making millions of dollars off of peoples suffering, and in New Orleans they're balls deep in insurance fraud. Capitalism didn't work in the 20's (think - great depression) and it won't work now.

Now, the fact that they have made themseves immune (now referring to post #1) is irrelevant, they are immune now but not forever, their term in office is coming to an end and then they will be persecuted. We have to put our faith in the capitalistic and democratic system, without it there is a good chance we would end up like many, many poor third world countries, or like cuba (i dont know if it's third world or not..) and you wouldnt want that for your mother country Canada would you?

I do beleive that they will be still imune after they are out of office, which is why Rumseild is being tried in Germany at a millitary base where he served.

Canada and the US are definately not democratic. And I don't really know how you came to "We have to put our faith in the capitalistic and democratic system, without it there is a good chance we would end up like many, many poor third world countries, or like cuba (i dont know if it's third world or not..) and you wouldnt want that for your mother country Canada would you?" Capitalism isn't the only system out there, and despite what you think it is not working, it cant work and never will.

All types of governments and societies are flawed. The only thing we can do is attempt to put the best we can in office and power positions.

[billytalentisshweet]

Or eliminate the power posistions and social heirarcy.

[rideohio]

Then how will people at CNN make money?

[billytalentisshweet]

No-one should profit from the news. It creates biase.
