Only the respsonsible can be held responsible.This rule requires -- like all Big Rules of the Universe -- considerable extended discussion. In instant case -- Darfoor, Sudan and Kofi and Dubya -- it says why folks go after Dubya for real action. Kofi is, well, honestly -- nigh absolutely irresponsible. And Dubya is, well, honestly -- perhaps one of the most responsible of Presidents we have been blessed to have.
And we cannot forget its logical corrollary, epitomized by Slick and Kofi:
You cannot shame the shameless.
We know that's true, but unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer who believe in self-accountability.
