Subject: Re: Foucault explains what scared me about Bush yesterday


And they serach for "subject", who will be able to
"take responsibility in the court" (And that subject
must have a individual face). 
But there is no individual subject. In this act are
involved large amount of people, including americans,
europeans, and so on.
But the world wants a SUBJECT to be judged.
