"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die." --Sartre

I believe that individuals must be held accountable for their actions. In particular, those with social & political power must be held accountable for how they use it.

We must prosecute those who committed acts of violence. But if we prosecute them & give a pass to those who fomented & encouraged it--on whose behalf they acted--we will be the worst kind of hypocrites.

And we will confirm everything those without power already know to be true: Have enough money, power, & privilege & you can act with impunity.

It's so easy for those with power to hold those without it accountable for their actions. The true test is whether those with power are willing to hold their peers accoutable.
