Thread Name: BS: Death Penalty for Bush/Cheney
Subject: RE: BS: Death Penalty for Bush/Cheney
I don't know what it is. I know he has been an advocate of prosecuting Bush for the murders of all the US soldiers killed in Iraq, but not much else about him.

What would be perfectly appropriate and legitimate would be for him to be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

However, the US & UK, as world powers, refuse to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity (and they are substantial and far worse than ANY terrorist group's crimes, to be sure) by any international or national body of law or authority.

Which makes them outlaws, of course.

They are, IMO, in the same league as Franco, the Chilean junta, the Duvaliers, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Slobadan Milosevic, etc.

I do believe those sadists should ALWAYS be brought to justice, preferably by the World Court. But let's face it. The world is currently dominated by powerful corporate and criminal cartels, via "democratic" government leaders who are willing to look the other way they their fellow "partners" commit, condone, cooperate with and embolden horrific acts of genocide, human and environmental atrocities, etc. while we debate which flavor of Democrat tastes dreamier to us.
