While changes are being made in the White House staff, no one in
this regime is being held responsible for war crimes and crimes against
humanity, nor are these staff changes altering the fascist direction of
society. It’s a good thing that this regime’s facing low approval
ratings, corruption scandals, and retired generals calling for
Rumsfeld’s resignation. But none of this addresses the essential
problem with the Bush regime – that it is committing real and
deliberate crimes against humanity (torture, white phosphorous bombs,
leaving thousands to die in New Orleans), and taking society in a
fascist direction (imposing a theocracy, and making permenent new
police state measures). Furthermore, while staff changes are
being made, Bush has made clear that he stands behind war criminal
Rumsfeld, and that there will be no policy changes, and now considers
nuking Iran.
While scandals, shake-ups, and the lowest approval ratings yet are a
good thing, without a movement from below determined to drive out this
regime, it’s likely they’ll stay in power and push ahead with their
agenda. This is further illustrated by the fact that the
Democratic Party leadership has refused to seize on any of this for
censure, impeachment, or even reversing some of Bush’s policies,
despite public opinion being all for it. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.
