Kick 'em When They're Down

That, in modern parlance, is one of the tenets of Machiavelli's seminal work, The Prince, and so I note the great irony of Donald Rumsfeld, poster boy for the Mayberry Machiavellis who took over the Republican Party, being brought up on war crimes charges.

In Germany.

I guess it is still too early to expect us to clean our own house, but I'm willing to take justice wherever I can get it. And Germany does seem an appropriate place to have the crimes of Von Rumsfeld exposed.

And, in an unrelated story, I'm sure that it's just a coincidence that Rummy has canceled plans to attend the NATO Summit in Latvia...

Heh heh heh.
