After numerous rounds of ‘We don’t even know if Osama bin Laden is still alive’, Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own hand writing to let him know he was still in the game.

Bush opened the letter and it contained a single line of coded message:

370H-SSV-0773H

Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condoleezza Rice. Condi and her=2 0aides had not a clue either, so they sent it to the FBI.

No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, and then to MI6.

Eventually they asked the Mossad (Israeli intelligence) for help.

Within a minute Mossad emailed the White House with this reply:

‘Tell the President he’s holding the note upside down’

I think the prosecution of George W. Bush is needed. But other "needs" seem much greater, and the game is "rigged" (as you say) in favor of Bush. "Constructive coercive power" is the capacity to create and sustain a crisis (economically or otherwise) to force negotiation and public awareness. Marching in the streets and writing petitions do not create a crisis. They barely even get anybody's attention, unless they are first "undergirded by some form of constructive coercive power", (Dr. King). The absence of "constructive coercive power" does not mean effective leverage isn't available. It indicates that the proponents of this fiasco are deliberately avoiding the most effective approach. Either way, it's not the prosecution of Bush that I oppose, but rather a deliberately failed attempt to do so. Thanks very much for your support of my not-so-popular perspective.
