The US is a law unto itself and they really couldn't care less that the rest of the world loathes them. I used to have quite positive feelings toward the US, but since 2003 that has steadily eroded. There is a lot of 'talk' about accountability, but I doubt there are enough good men & women left to actually bring it about. Perhaps China will do a better job as the world's greatest (or only) superpower. Regarding the accountability of Bush & cohorts:

Mr. Russert evidently had a faithful fan in you, and that is a fine thing; I, myself, appreciated who he was as a individual, and enjoyed his conversations with Charlie Rose talking of his past and his family. Who he was an a mainstream mega-weight, however, is entirely different -- he played establishment politics by establishment rules. And that didn't help us a lick, in the end. I am more concerned that you read my comments and considered them a slam. I didn't slam Tim Russert, and if you think I did, I'd appreciate your reading the preface again; it was, in fact, written respectfully and with a hint of affection for the man, if not the political moderator, he was. But I suppose if you think Bill Moyers is pandering to Obama or anything other than the democratic model, then we don't have much to talk about anyhow. It's a great country -- we're all entitled to our own opinion. Blessed be, JG Hi Pat — thanks for your comments.

Wonder what the pundits will say about you when you kick the bucket? I love Tim and love that he knew who he was and how he came to be in such an important public position. He caught many more flies with the honey than with grim and mean-spirited questions. I don't have much use for Bill Moyers or any of the others who bend over backwards pandering to Obama. They did everything they could to make Hillary look bad, and they do everything they can to call attention to themselves and make everyone else look bad. Why? Ego and fear - the evil twins. Tim Russert wasn't one of them. You shouldn't stoop so low. Wow - shame on you for slamming Tim Russert. Wonder what the pundits will say about you when you kick the bucket?
