Resign Mr. President 05/08/2004 05:21 PM

I know I'll get a lot of flack for this, but I am of the mind that Bush should resign as a sincere gesture of apology to the world and to Americans.  Ultimately, he is responsible for the humiliation, rape and murder that occurred in Iraq by American soldiers and no mere words will make up for the damage the acts have caused.

Admittedly, I don't like Bush and I don't think he is fit to be the President of United States, but that's beside the point...I think.  Resignation will take much courage and sacrifices, but I don't think I am asking for anything less than what this country is asking from its soldiers.  This will send a shocking message to the world that will put right much of the damages to our reputation and our soul.

Whether Bush really deserves to be forced to resign or not is irrelevant to me.  Whether his resignation serves this country better than not doing so does.  I have always wondered what 'Bucks Stop Here' meant if words of apologies is the best the President can offer.  I think now is time to show exactly what that means.

If you are a Bush supporter and this post offends you, my apologies.  I am just saying what I think is best for this country.

Xeni Jardin: Boing Boing reader Paul says,

This is regarding the article you posted today on Kyrgyz .gov hijacking news websites. The article stated that there is a lack of foreign correspondents (true) and public access to the internet. As far as I know the Kyrgyz government has been progressive with public internet access and when I was there a year and half ago they had modern computers running XP with available peripheral devices such as scanners in the post office of nearly every town (including small towns of a few thousand people).

For recent pictures "on the ground" pictures from the Coalition for Democracy and Civil Society see here, blog photos here, Muslim Uzbekistan (AP/Reuters) photos here.

The best Kyrgyz blog would probably be: registan.net , also http://blog.kz/.
