The talking points for the right-wing always suggest the lack of a plan by anyone but the Pretendedent, especially the Democratic Party, on what to do about the terrible problems facing America (that HE has caused!) Nothing could be further from the truth, as Speaker Pelosi's recent visit with the leaders in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran have shown. Here's a great plan (courtesy of The Crisis Papers (http://www.americanpolitics.com):
A restoration of the international reputation of and respect for the United States must involve:
* Withdrawal, “with all deliberate speed,” from Iraq. Also all prisoners held at Guantanamo and other military prisons must either be brought to a speedy and fair trial, or released immediately with reparations.
* Immediate Congressional legislation restoring habeas corpus and the Constitutional rights violated by the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act, accompanied by the rescinding of those acts.
* Rigorous and uncompromising Congressional investigations and disclosure of the crimes of the Bush administration, followed by remedial legislation.
* Following this, the impeachment of Bush, Cheney, and culpable subordinate executive officials, followed by trial and conviction in the Senate.
* Acknowledgment that international treaties are enforceable laws of the United States (as stipulated in Article Six of the Constitution). Most urgently, this would include the Geneva Conventions (concerning torture) and the Nuremberg Accords (regarding war crimes).
* And finally, there is the matter of election reform.
--> People, this is the one we ALL have to demand and enforce for the sake of our liberty! Don't let the vote fraud that brought these criminals to power in 2000 and 2004 carry on to 2008!
Sounds like a plan to me.
