Why hasn't the President been tried for crimes against humanity?

Question

REALLY! If anyone deserves it, it's HIM. 50 000 Iraqis dead. The
allowing of widespread torture. Non-stop aerial shelling of Iraq.
Coming close to destroying the environment by pooh-pooh the Kyoto Protocol as well as gutting every emissions-curtailing legislation. Wiretapping the innocent. Not giving a damn about any of this. In conclusion, I quote from a graffito about what the rest of us are forced to do: "BUSH SAYS SHUT UP and SHOP!"

Thank You For Letting Me Vent!

Answer 1

He should be charged.

Answer 2

The President is in the perfect position to trample the constitution, because he controls the party that controls both houses of Congress, he cannot be impeached, nor convicted. He signs every bill from Congress with the phrase "this will not apply to me or my administration"

By the way, they are now getting ready to render an anti-Constitutional "FIX" to the problem of the Church of San Diego, an otherwise local problem wherein the City of San Diego has maintained an Easter Sunday worship location at the top of a hill in La Jolla (a suburb). Since the lawsuit against this obvious violation of church and state separation was filed (about seventeen years ago) the city has enlarged the driveway to a full street, provided parking areas and landscaping with sprinklers, appealed to every court that would hear the case and lost every time, had the local congressmen Hunter and Cunningham attach a rider to a passing appropriations bill at two in the morning with no debate (to declare the Cross a "National Monument"), sold the top fifteen square feet, so as to pretend the City was no longer maintaining the facility (but in fact the city parks personnel do all the landscaping and cleanup), encourage the temporary owner to "permanently lease" to a memorial society in the month before the sale was thown out by the courts and then claim the lease is valid...for seventeen years the City has spent money for lawyers and appeals.

Remember the Constitution also reads "Congress shall make no "EX POST FACTO" law. This is exactly what Hunter and Cunningham did; pass a law specific to a court case in process.

The city is now asking Congress to make a Veterans Memorial of the land in question; not the whole park, just a half acre in the middle of about six acres, which the City will continue to maintain.
At the same time the City is asking the Supreme Court to grant additional time and more reviews after seventeen years of reviews.
But to get back to the question, the Republicans and the President are in the position to pull out their copy of the Constitution, wrinkle it up, throw it on the ground, pull down their collective zippers and show the World what they really feel about our American form of Government.

Answer 3

Short answer, because he hasn't committed any war crimes.
Everything you said is wrong.
You should stop getting your information from Bryan Williams and NPR and actually do some research.
- 50,000 Iraqis dead....Not killed by U.S. troops. Killed by Al Qaeda, killed by pro Sadam insurgents, Killed by sectarian violence. Sadam killed far more Iraqis than that and would still be doing so if in power.

- There is no wide spread torture. What American forces do to obtain vital information from those who do not want to volunteer it can hardly be defined as torture. The people we are questioning are not innocent civilians, they are terrorist. The information we get from them saves American lives.
After all of the prosecutions of American troops and the media "outrage" there is very little of that going on now anyway, so more of our troops will likely die and we will probably be attacked again on our own soil soon. So that should make you happy.
- The Kyoto Protocol was one sided, demanding that the developed nations ( the U.S. ) put more restrictions on industry than less developed nations, when it's the less developed nations that are poluting the most.
- There is no non stop shelling in Iraq. What are you even refering too? The joint operations we have engaged in in the last year, and probably longer, have not even included artillery. If you know of any operations in which we have shelled anyone in Iraq, please let me know. If we have it certainly is not "non stop" shelling.
- We are not wire tapping the innocent. No one is listening in on your phone sex calls, your calls to Granny or anyone else. They are tracking overseas calls with potential terrorist connections. That is likely how they stoped the NY tunnel bombings.

Answer 4

Dear Aaron,
To directly answer your question: maybe its because there is no evidence to directly support the accusation?
We didn't pooh pooh the kyoto protoccol btw. Since its original publication the US has reduced ozone effecting pollutants by almost 50%. Not sure about wiretapping innocents. Heard about the international datamining of phone via satellite transmissions (that doesn't tap the wire as required by statute).

Answer 5

Ah, your phone is wiretapped. Are you associated with a terrorist organization? Start worrying if you are. I really do not believe the government is concerned about the idle chit-chat that most Americans have on their phones or who did who. I guess he is like a cat, nine lives, strapped those bombs to himself and blew people up. I guess you could say he goes around the world and tortures people all by himself. He is all seeing and all knowing, right. People are getting the misconception that the President of the USA whoever the president may be is God himself. Sorry to disappoint you, he is just a man. He has advisors, something, people apparently does not know about. Come on get real.

Answer 6

The Bush administration is the most evil, corrupt and incompetent ever to occupy the Oval Office. He and his cohorts, Cheney and Rumsfeld, along with most members of the corrupt, cowardly U.S. Congress, deserve to be tried for high treason and charged with crimes against humanity. If convicted, the deserve to face a public firing squad. These are arrogant, selfish, evil people who have nothing but disdain for the average American citizen.

Why hasn't he been charged? Because he has the power, the money and the influence behind him, the same kind of power, money and influence that allowed him steal an election (or two) in the first place! -RKO-

Answer 7

Yes he should be charged but he wont be because he is rich. Just like he lost the election twice but cheated and got in there anyway it was because he had more money than the other guys. I realy think he is an evil person. You know that movie that came out on 6-6-06 about the son of satin the only thing buch hasnt done is start saing he was god. You know what I mean. He could be the antcrist no im just kidding but realy I think there is a speacial place in hell for him.

Answer 8

Because its a war. It doesn't go against Geneva convention. Kyoto protocol is recommendation not truth or something required. Its also something that just penalizes high tech countries but doesnt place the same restrictions on third world countries.

Answer 9

He thinks he is above all power and does not care about what he does. congress never okay-ed the war. bush is an idiot, He reminds of another dictator oh yeah Hitler, he wanted everyone to be communist and bush wants everyone to live in a democracy, and he said he would not stop until the middle east was one. Who is he to say how someone runs there country

Answer 10

I dont know why youre so hard on our President ...Mr Warner.

I read today that several Targets are being constructed by the insurgents.
