Bush (and his owners) are directly responsible for all servicemen deaths, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead and the millions displaced since this war began.

I suppose then, that the members of Islam’s religious-right who have been pulling the triggers, detonating the bombs, and setting up the IEDs, are not responsible for their own actions; somehow, like Arab insects, they were stimulated by president Bush and therefore cannot be blamed. If the terrorists were white evangelical Christians or Jews, would you feel the same way?

It is also not the fault of the military, but the commander in chief

Why not? If the “hundreds of thousands” of Iraqi civilian deaths were directly caused by illegal American military action – The Nuremburg trials set a precident that junior officers, NCOs, staff seargents and other low ranking personell cannot abrogate responsibility for war crimes to their higher officers.

Someone flies the F-18s to drop the bombs. Someone fires the tank shells into the civilian neighborhhods. Someone rounds up prisoners and throws them into the “gulags.” Nazi troops in WWII were not allowed to defer responsibility when they directly targeted innocents for execution in the ghettos and the death camps.

I suppose its the same thinking that leads you to believe Bush and his “owners” are the only people who have any moral culpability for any and all actions in the world.

In other news, I really hope Hillary is not the eventual candidate, because I do not think she can win a general election (and she has been pandering far too much to the right, in a far too calculated manner).

Of course I’m still hoping Gore runs, and barring that, would go for an Edwards/Obama ticket.
