this is fun

Answer 1

It will be interesting to see how Germany would handle 'jurisdiction' in this regard. If they follow through, they will also have to expose many inner workings of their own government in the trial (the German Intelligence community contributed greatly to the pre-invasion data collection). Additionally, the fragile Grand Coalition being held by the Merkel led CDU/ CSU would struggle with a drop in support from the US, and we would probably see a return of the SPD to government plurality, which would be disastrous for a now recovering German economy.

Answer 2

SOMEONE HAS TO POLICE THE POLICE right?

american politicians claim that they are saving the world, can you leave your conscience in-tacked and let your gov. run over anyone that stands in-there way? it is a shame that most americans are brainwashed by the administration of your "once great country"
its about time some one does something to help protect the rest of the wold. lets show these American politicians that they have to be accountable for there actions

i think it is great, if he is innocent he can go free, if not they should hang him with Saddam.
it go's to show that no one is safe to commit such atrocities ie: torture at abu ghraib and waging war for no reasons, there is and never was wmd in Iraq France, Germany and the rest of the world (even the UN tried to stop u) told u that before u attacked a innocent country.

i hope that they will take bush to court as well. it is about time some one does something about these stupid american politicians running around destroying the world. it might help to improve the world view of the american armed forces as well, if they were just following orders.

Answer 3

By slashing the tires on every German car I see! Especially VW's - their drivers suckass.

By demanding we withdraw our troops from Germany and end our participation in NATO.

This is a stupid little thing and will amount to nothing. They have no right to judge US officials - no jurisdiction, no authority.

What kills me is that these kangaroo courts never try people like Castro, Saddam, Mugabe, etc - people that have committed real crimes against humanity.

Answer 4

RED RUM! RED RUM! REDRUM! What do you expect from a backward administration? Worthless people coming to power only because of their families' value belongs in the Middle Ages.

Answer 5

I won't celebrate. I don't like Rumsfeld but I dislike even more smug Europeans threatening American leaders.

Answer 6

It really is a sad thing for America that we were led in this direction, it does not excuse Rumsfield, nor should he not have to stand trial for his crimes. But we in America should not be celebrating this, as it is a bad mark on all of us, that we allowed it to happen.

Answer 7

Germany will not try Rumsfeld. The U.S wont allow it.

Answer 8

I believe your anti-America attitude is sick and wrong. Whether you agree with Rummy or not it is an issue for the US to take care of, supporting another Countries attempt to harm Americans is treasonous in my book!

Answer 9

germany has absolutely no authority to do something like that. that would be like if germany decided to try you for some crime...can't be done. this is the u.s.

Answer 10

By starting a Coup to take over all that is liberal in western civilization.
Let's see how well your "diplomacy or bust" policy works then!! You'll need more than olive branches and peace signs to fight with!
