3 pieces

3 things came together in the news today... it was confirmed that US forces have gone over the border into Syria and engaged Syrian troups, Congress begins as early as Wednesday to decide how much to cut from domestic programs for the poor to fund the rebuilding of the Gulf coast, and Bono had lunch with the president...
Before meeting with Bush, Bono was interviewed by Rolling Stone. This is what he said when he was asked if he was afraid to meet world leaders: "They should be afraid because they will be held accountable for what happened on their watch." He went on to say that he was there representing the poor and the moral force that they represent is way beyond anything the politicians wield.
The politicians should be afraid. We must hold them accountable for what has happened on their watch. It must begin with the upcoming elections.
