The Big Stick: Guatemala

This is some wonderful news!  Efrain Rios Montt convicted of genocide and sentenced to 80 years.  I would suggest that perhaps we could scare up a little rough trade in Libya for this genocidal monster; it would be a fitting end to a life of absolute evil.  Of course, his pal Reagan should be dug up just for the fun of it so we can piss on his rotten bones as well.  Guatemala has done a great thing; if only the United States had as much courage.  The world would be a better place if we had the balls to make our leaders face their crimes.  Obama's criminal and cowardly failure to hold the Bush administration accountable stands out even when compared to the rest of his presidency.  Of course, Obama was very interested in continuing Bush and Cheney's imperial policies, but we can still dream of living in America as civilized as Guatemala and seeing Bush and Cheney and Rice and Wolfowitz and Pearle and Chalabi and the rest harshly punished for their crimes.
