Good for you. I hope you never have a government position or are even in charge of a pet goldfish. Iraq's legal system sentenced him according to Iraqi law. Capital charges against Bush is a bit of a stretch.
And why exactly should you think that?stinkynuts said:
I am really curious as I don't believe he has broken any international, local, or US laws.......
War crimes are a joke IMHO. The winner putting the loser on trial.... how is that fair? In this case the loser is Saddam thus he is now toast. If someone came in and kicked the USA's ass in an invasion, then GWB could be tried. So as for the original question, unless some country (or countries) invades and conquers the USA, the question is a useless one.
I think George Bush killed more people than Saddam Hussein by going into Iraq, without a legitimate reason.
The reason the US went into Iraq was supposedly because Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, but we all now know that was a lie. Bush wanted to start a war for more personal reasons. The result is that thousands of American soldiers have died as well as Iraqi civilians. Though he broke no law, technically his actions have resulted in deaths that were unwarranted.

The death toll during Saddam's regime is in the millions. The Iranian casualities during the Iraq-Iran war is over half a million on its own (at least 100,000 of these by weapons of mass destruction). Even the most aggresive estimates by the most radical of analysts of the casualities in both Afganistan and Iraq wars do not come to a third of this. Do some research before throwing out random thoughts on your justification for someone deserving to die.stinkynuts said:
Well, that's where you are 100% wrong my friend. War crimes are not based on who won, but what went on during the war. The U.S. is constantly charging and convicting soldiers who break international laws which includes wrongful/intentional killing of civilians etc. For eg: after the second world war the german high command and others were tried and convicted of war crimes involving the extermination of the jewish population and others, executing without trial prisoners of war etc. At no time were they tried for the civilians they killed by bombing london, because that is an unfortunate side effect of modern warfare.Don said:
As stated Sodamninsane killed millions during his reign of terror, not during war, but to exterminate a population that he believed religiously different thinks than he did.
Now tell me, what war crimes has Bush committed? 1) The US was asked to aid Kuwait kick Iraq out of their country, so that isn't a crime. 2) The UN imposed restrictions on what Iraq could and couldn't do (which SH started ignoring) and BTW, here's another history lesson for you: after the end of the first world war, there were restrictions placed on Germany that limited their ability to wage war, but they TOO started ignoring these restrictions and do you know what the result was? I'll give you a hint: WWII....
So, while it is a little dodgey why the US invaded Iraq and why they are still there, but someone somewhere MUST get rid of these pisspot dictators everywhere and the UN certainly won't do it. BTW: the US are still in Iraq at the request of the duly elected Iraqi government, or so I understand....(someone correct me if I am wrong).
See the thing is, here in the free world you are allowed by law to say things like "Bush should be hanged" if the Saddam's of the world were in power, you'd probably be dead already......capice?
Yes, politically this is an idiot fest, you'll be in good company.stinkynuts said:There's no need to be rude.
So far, half the respondents agree with me.
OTB
Hung, drawn, quatered and pissed on, long before dawn, like all the rest of the stinking useless politicians. Fuck them all.stinkynuts said:
bush is already hanging from a bunch of strings. he is a puppet isnt he? i dont know that he can even tie his shoes alone.
If they don't, then they're gonna be frowned upon by the world community.tboy said:

Asked also because of special interest. see Bush, Carlyle Group.
"a little" is the understatement of the fucking year.

Oh and a very Republican figure, with a lot more intelligence than Bush didn't agree with his reasonings.

In that case, the US better get on N.Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba.
What the fuck are they waiting for?
Why didn't they do this pre-911???
If it must be done?
I'll never forget what a co-worker (from India) once said about the situation in Iraq.
Some countries and areas in the world, need to be ruled with an iron fist.
It was pretty heavy food for thought, but it made you think.
When you compare the situation to then and now.
Oh you mean the one that was placed by the US government?
The same government that's running the show in a 10km radius.

Well of course, if that's what you consider a government run country, then yes.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding of a government is one that governs. Where the citizens follow the rule of law and things are supposed to be relatively calm and peaceful.

Last I remember, an ELECTED government by the people rarely has tanks in the city...

Oh, btw, of course that elected government in Iraq has requested the US forces stay.
If they leave, it'll be an EVEN BIGGER FUCK UP than it already is.
Bush has to save face somehow.
Funny enough, Bush avoided the Vietnam war for these very freedoms of speech.
Yet he has the fucking balls to make jokes about it, while people are over their dying for some bullshit excuse(s).

Talk about a fucking moron.
Like one person I read online said, "I can't wait to see what people will think of him 25 years from now.
He can't even speak English ffsakes.
Will one of you girls go down to the White House and blow this guy, so he can be impeached already.
well im glad saadam was hanged, however im worried about the next crazy fuck who is waiting to take his place. the execution, while justified, worries me as his sunni followers will seek retribution. God bless the iraqui citizens, they are going to need it.
