Not wishful thinking...but a serious thought.
Considering what might lie ahead in the future and considering the huge amount of anti-US sentiment worldwide, could a World Court or a branch of the UN conceivably seek war crimes charges against key members of the Bush administration, and perhaps even Bush himself long after he leaves the office of the Presidency?
Dont say it isn't possible, or turn this post into a anti-rant.
Just consider the relevant possibility of such an event being at least proposed by a legit governing body or World Court, even if it could never be taken to a successful conclusion based on immunity laws or whatever.

I appreciate the real responses to the question I posted as I feel it is a remote possibility when one takes into account world resentment towards the Bush administration...and that's not even counting those with the USA.
I dont care what side of the political fence you feel you are own either, as long as you give the question some serious consideration and answer respectfully.

I for one am so relieved to see this question and I would love to see this happen to Bush as well as every member of his administration too and the sooner the better not only for the USA but for the world to share in the glory of watching Bush go down the toilet as he belongs for all the shameful things that he has and is still doing to everyone through out the world.
My concern is that with all his families money he may never be made to pay for all his war crimes as well as acts of terrorism either with EVERY war criminal should face.
Because of this war criminal the USA is now the most hated country in the world and we are being blamed for everything including what N. Korea is up to now too and just because the idiot Bush can't get enough of a rush from all the killings that he has already caused, now we face yet another country that is really out to get us but good.
I truly can not understand why this war criminal is still in office today and not behind bars where he justly belongs along with Saddam, his buddy in crime.
Also remember that Bush makes his own laws as he breaks the real ones that we all have to follow or pay for it but he just does as he damn well pleases without a clue of what's going on in the real world and what he's doing to the real world either.
I vote that he be brought up on charges of war crimes and acts of terrorism too.

i think of this may be somewhat thick. I see that the WMD have been incorrect so according to probability this became a conflict that ought to in no way have been fought in the 1st place yet there has in no way been a precedent in bringing a President of the United Sates to trial before for conflict crimes or treason this could Take a great sort of the government far off from the present subject of attempting to get out of this recession and ending the already countless wasteland wars. in spite of the rigors the top outcomes could in all probability be not cover as politicians are in basic terms like the police. they have each others backs.

Not much chance at all,
What war crimes did he or key members of his administration commit? where would the proof come from.
I know there are people who accuse him of commiting crimes but none have presented any proof. only generalized accusations
like he allowed women and children to be killed.
The world court has no jurisdiction over the united states because we do not recognize them as legitimate since we have never signed a treaty to do this. as a matter of fact, there is no legitimate governing body outside our own government that has jurisdiction over anything our government representatives do in this country.
I personnally would consider it an act of war if an outside body tried to do this.

No chance because Hitler is dead,Saddam will soon be and the words war crimes are no longer part of the world code of ethics. You have to define war crimes as they can mean different things to different people, To me a war crime would be not liberating millions of Iraqi's when we have the power to do so.

Zero. There are no legit and un-corrupted world bodies/courts, or whatever else they would bring to muster.

should it happen? Possibly. I won't say for sure because I have no access to secret government files that reveal Bush's role in everything. But I have a pretty good idea . . .
Will it happen? Absolutely not.
