And how are things really?
Waging an illegal war (certainly without putting it to a Security Council vote) against a country that was not really a threat either to America or Europe.
Lying to the populations of democratic countries like the US and Great Britain to justify that war.
Invading a country without having a plan to either preserve infrastructure or enforce law and order.
Presiding over years of following chaos in which the population of that country are being killed by the tens of thousands.
Bush and Blair waged war. The result of that war is a crime on many levels, but mainly against the Iraqi people.
Is it "twisted and demented" to look past the words of our politicians and in viewing the results of their actions, come to the conclusion that a crime has been committed?
I think any reasonable person would come to that conclusion.

From the manner in which your good question was asked, it's evident you are an admirer of Bush, and his honorable war. Presently, two thirds of the American people want this war to end, and there are some people that do feel he is a mass murderer. Your question indicates this may be possible. There is no doubt that Bush's intentions were sincere; to rid Iraq of a despotic tyrant, and to establish a true democracy. Only one half of the job has been accomplished, Saddam is gone. There is no peace in Iraq today, and only time will tell whether Bush is the right man to completely solve this incredible problem. Even though his plans were noble, he will be judged on results.

We have to remember that Bush is Commander-in-Chief.
The orders go down, and everyone executes. The chain of command begins with President Bush. A soldier who walks away from the front line and fails to pull the trigger when ordered is subject to court martial on grounds of sedition or desertion.
So, Bush has not directly killed with his hands or his guns. But, as Commander-in-Chief he is morally responsible for all the killing that has taken place under his command, on his plans, in a discretionary war of choice that was his idea.
Now, we can debate whether those killings were murders, or combat casualties, or what have you. But, unless we want to modify the Constitution -- George W. Bush is the Commander-in-Chief. When he says jump, it's how high, for better or worse.
Personally, I would argue that some of these deaths are murders and they should be called so. For example, the massacre of the citizens of Fallujah with cluster bombs. When this was done, we knew what the results would be. We knew many innocent Iraqis were going to die. We did it anyway.
To me, this is in the same category as the Nazi blitzkrieg of Guernica immortalized by Picasso, or the allied bombing of Dresden chronicled by Kurt Vonnegut -- or the largely unreported bombing of Tokyo in WWII which claimed close to a million non-combatant Japanese.
We can split hairs on the semantics of murder versus other euphemisms. What cannot be disputed is that, for anyone who aspires to be a serious Christian -- these killings are a moral outrage that should be utterly condemned.

There is something seriously wrong when this question arises in a country that produced a president like Richard Nixon who ordered the illegal bombing of Cambodia.Any country can produce immoral political leaders.

looks diverse human beings believe you: "(CBS) President Bush has been named simply by fact the worst president simply by fact the top of the international conflict II in a sparkling national ballot. Mr. Bush grow to be chosen by utilising 34 % of the electorate who participated interior the the Quinnipiac Unversity survey. Richard Nixon finished 2nd with 17 % -- in simple terms in simple terms before bill Clinton with sixteen %. Ronald Reagan grow to be the acceptable selection as suited president, with 28 %. ending 2nd grow to be Mr. Clinton with 25 %. "

If he is a mass murderer then the whole US government is. He didn't knowingly lie to get us into IRAQ...he took advice from the top officials and even MOST DEMS agreed with Bush from the start.People who call him a murderer are sheep for the far left and basically mental midgets.

Apparently you don't know much about U.S. History and you watch a lot of the White House Talking Points network, Faux News. The evidence proves that there is no terror (beyond the usual region-specific revolutionary type that's always existed). 9/11 was orchestrated by the U.S. and Israel (see scholarsfor911truth.org/), but for different reasons. The U.S. will begin building a NAFTA Superhighway next year that stretches from the S. Texas Mexican border through the Midwest up to Canada for the purpose of facilitating a North American Union parallel to the European Union (see Congressman Ron Paul's website). The Christian West recognizes through the revelations in Samual P. Huntington's book, "Clash of Civilizations" that they will never get the Muslim world to accept this one world globalization, so we need to create pretexts for wars against the Muslims. 9/11 was made possible by carrying out 15 different "war games" by the military simultaneously and at the same location of the "attacks". Same thing in london on 7/7 (again, see scholarsfor911truth.org/). The British authorities were carrying out "anti-terrorism" exercises at the exact same time and location as the bombings. The Indonesian authorities have investigated the Bali bombing and the trail leads to the U.S. military (Guardian October 27, 2002). Same thing with the Spain train bombing. The U.S. military pays "contracters" $30,000 per month (per Melissa Rossi, "What every American should know about who runs the World), to carry out "military operations". Have you heard any more about the anthrax letters since the Baltimore Sun reported that the very unique weapons grade used was traced to a U.S. military lab? (There's a Patriot Act to pass, we can't have dissenters in congress.) So the war on terror is a fabrication to minimize the muslim numbers and establish puppet presidents in Muslim countries. The masses mostly consist of simple people who are very easy to fool. The U.S. Intelligence agencies specialize in false flag attacks and influencing elections in foreign countries through clever propaganda. (Our intelligence agencies were not born yesterday and there is no organization better at deception-have you any idea how many false films they've produced, including Flight 93?).The press is the key. But the U.S. cannot control the foreign press, so stories like the following are written and linked to the internet: "Hijack 'suspects' alive and well" by BBC News on September 23, 2001; "Gore Vidal claims 'Bush junta' complicit in 9/11 by the Guardian Observer on October 27, 2002". There are hundreds more, including an interview with Osama soon after 9/11 where he explains that he had no involvement with 9/11 and why. (The December, 2001 "confession" video has been proven a fraud-more propaganda by CIA/Mossad). Everything was fabricated (cell phones did not work at 30,000 feet in 2001, and if Marc Bingham did call his mom, he wouldn't say, "hi mom, this is Marc Bingham". But the masses are very easy to fool. Show an explosion and TELL them what happened and they buy it hook, line and sinker. By the way, skyscrapers do not collapse by fire. During WWII a B-52 bomber flew into the Empire State Building. It burned for awhile but these building are built to withstand multiple airplane hits, as attested by the WTC construction mgr, Frank Demartini on the History Channel. And when you do a "review" of the call on the field by revisiting the "attack" you can see that instead of burning down, the towers were getting blown to kingdom come with explosives, the very thing that the witnesses attest to in the dvd's and the internet videos. Now you know why Bush resisted an investigation (which he later loaded with insiders who wrote the biggest lie since Santa Clause). Now you know why Bush refused to testify under oath. Now you know why Bush insisted that Cheney be at his side during his interview. Now you know why 9/11 is not among the crimes listed on the FBI website of Osama Bin Laden. Now you know why no one was reprimanded or fired for allowing 9/11 to happen. Now you know why the Patriot Act was on Ashcroft's desk on September 10, 2001. Now you know why most of the Bush gang with any sintilla of a concious has "resigned", such as General Tommy Franks, Karen Hughes, Colin Powell, and scores of others. Franks is quoted in Senator Bob Graham's book, "Intelligence Matters" as saying "This is not a war on terror". Indeed it isn't Mr. Franks. Now you know why Pat Tillman was killed by "friendly fire" after he became outspoken on how bogus the war was (as reported in Sports Ilustrated Magazine). Again, there is no war on terror. The U.S. needs a significant military presence in Eurasia to stifle any challenge to its global supremacy. Pat Tillman did not appreciate giving up his NFL career to be the oil police. But that is what our military is doing in Afghanistan. Do you really believe that a bunch of rag tag towel heads with no air force, no navy, no cruise missles, no helicopters, no uniforms, no canteens, no nothing can hold off and resurge against the world's sole global superpower???? Remember the Gulf War in 1991? How long did it take the U.S. to remove the fourth largest army in the world from Kuwait? TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!! And FIVE YEARS later, we're losing the "war" in Afghanistan? Yeah, right. Now you know why the U.S. government refuses to answer the dozens of questions of the families of the 9/11 victims as shown in the dvd, Press for Truth. Now you know why the 9/11 Truth Movement reps are yelled at and discredited with name calling in the mainstream media. You people need to decide if you are sheep or your own thinker. Your government is decieving you to your grave and you just keep sleeping. I know, I know, our government would not do such a thing. Google "Operation Northwoods" and your political naivete will lump up in your shorts. The 9/11 attack was actually drawn up in 1962 as a hit on Cuba, intentionally kiliing Americans. It was to be blamed on Castro so we could remove him militarily. Kennedy, the peacemaker, rejected it and the plan has been sitting on the shelf waiting for the Neoconservative establishment to revive it, only at a different location. As Zbig Brzezinski wrote in "The Global Chessboard", "...it is more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstances OF A TRULY MASSIVE AND WIDELY PERCEIVED DIRECT EXTERNAL THREAT." Guess what 9/11 was folks? It was a TRULY MASSIVE AND WIDELY PERCEIVED DIRECT EXTERNAL THREAT! Yeah, create an explosion and TELL the people what they saw and...lets roll...
Stay informed. Get your news from the internet, dvd's, and the international press. And inform others. This is our country. Eventually...we will tell...Bush...
