I take exception!

So I was looking at a bumper sticker that said "Who would Jesus Bomb" with it's implied criticism of our current administration's policies and I thought "What if we started a grass roots campaign to send letters to the president asking him to take care of our own personal axis of evil? I mean, as long as you can preemptively take a country out in complete violation of international law, why not apply it to your own country?" For example, someone could write the president the following letter:

Dear President Bush:
My father is evil and does not support demovcracy. We never lets us vote at home and he never goes to church. He is not Christian and never goes to church, and threatens our christian way of life. God told me to let you know this, so you can put it on your agenda. Please send a drone to take him out at 3434 East Elm Street, Peoria, IL. Yours in Christ, Yolanda

I urge you to look around and write to the president today.

There has been much brow beating in the press lately about Francis Fukuyama's defection from the neo-con camp, apparently because he realized that no one outside of America likes American policies and that that sort of makes being a hegemon and leading because of American Exceptionalism hard. Um, duh. It has become increasingly clear that torture was sanctioned at the highest levels of the government, and that Chenney and Rumsfeld set all their attorneys to creating memos that would lead to torture, condone torture all under the premise of "presidential authority" to apparently break what ever laws and international treaties they decided to. Here the flaw in the neo-con argument is never more apparent. America is exceptional because we value civil rights, the individual has inaliable dignity that is not granted by the government, it is recognized by the government. The government can't take away the individual's dignity, because it doesn't GRANT the dignity. It recognizes the dignity.

Flowing from that we do not torture, we do not violate international laws, we lead by example. However it is abundantly apparent that the United States is, in fact and action, NOT Exceptional. It is NOT an Example. This administration tramples on the rights of humans and thinks nothing of authorizing torture at the highest levels. As an article in this weeks New Yorker makes clear, Rumsfeld thought it was a funny thing to joke about torture, in memos authorizing torture. President Bush never met a felon he didn't think should be hung, how can a country expect to lead if it imposes the death penalty selectively on black people? How can a country expect to be exceptional if it can't provide basic health care for it's poor? How can a country expect to lead if it spies upon it's citizens with out judical oversight or review?

How can a country invade another country for no reason and not expect the people of that country to oppose them? It's a historical fact that people don't like to be invaded. Who thought that violating international treaties was "Exceptional?"

Can't we impeach these guys yet?
