Well said! This is a discussion that needs to be had (regularly) on places like Hacker News. I know of only a few small communities online (for example, /r/EndlessWar/) that openly discuss what is absolutely the most significant topic of our time.

I left the US some years ago and I am strongly considering renouncing my US citizenship. That I would have to pay to do so, is one of the few things stopping me. It won't happen, but if Obama and Bush are imprisoned for murder, among other crimes, I would think about going back.
