NO! However ... those who have INCITED VIOLENCE in others ... encouraged and paid for folks to commit acts of atrocity (Al Qaida and Terror Organizations) MUST and SHOULD have their ENTIRE LEADERSHIP be brought forth and TRIED, Convicted and EXECUTED for THEIR Crimes against Humanity -- which they OPENLY and willingly commit each and every day ...
HOWEVER ... there is little probability of that happening any time soon ... and there are deluded people out there who have been brainwashed so much that they can NOT See the FACT that there is NO 'Crime against Humanity' that has ever been associated with the current President of the United States!
Get a LIFE, UNDERSTAND the US Constitution, and LEARN the Roles, Responsibilities and DUTIES of the President of the US (and its checks/balances/limitations) and
you will QUICKLY know that George Bush and The Office of the President of the US is NOT and has NEVER been associated with ANY TERROR organization nor have they deliberately targeted CIVILIAN Populations, Historical Sites, Houses of Worship, schools, Hospitals or other important cultural monument at all ...
Terror Organization, Al Qaeda or any other 'personality cult' can and MUST be open to public scrutiny -- because ... these are the TRUE CRIMINALS who need to be tried and convicted openly for their CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!! It is these Terrorists that are using the Human Shields, who are blowing up houses of Worship, who are targeting Civilian Populations, who DO NOT CARE about the Loss of Life one wit that MUST be brought to Justice and PUNISHED appropriately for their CRIMES!

Yes. Decision makers should be responsible for their actions, orders, militar plans, and so on. Only if the leaders are tried there will be a real international council, not the United Nations, that are functional to the US in many ways. Heads of state must take responsibility for how they run the country.
The people vote who then want to put in charge, but then the person who runs the White House or its equivalent in any other country have to take responsibility for how they run it.
Bush has resorted to his "executive privilege" once again yesterday. And this is the fourth or fiftth time, at least... Thus no one can investigate his government. I don't think that's fair. And that's just what he does locally. Imagine how much worse it is on global scale. The International Court is also subjected to political wills and conveniencies, just like the UN. That's why Bush will get away with his crimes against humanity, even if he really deserves to be tried for them, for the deaths in Iraq, the lies about the weapons of massive destruction, his meddling in the Middle East, the government's inneficiency during Kathrina... and so on.

Yes, but of course it won't happen. High-level Germans were tried at Nuremberg after WWII for "waging aggressive war", for example. Bush is guilty of that. Germans were tried for torturing people, many of whom died. Those who ordered torture to be done were equally guilty. Bush is guilty of that and make no mistake: internees at Gitmo, in Afghanistan, and in secret prisons have died. Time Magazine has run articles about it. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and many of the generals in Iraq would be equally guilty. Generals Jodl and Keitel were executed after trial at Nuremberg.

Just about every president of the US has fought wars. Almost every single country's military has been involved in wars at some point and killed people. Why are you singling out Bush?

Hmmmm.....I oppose the war but I would say no. The American people supported this disastrous war, it is our fault....also Tony Blair would have to be tried as well as George Bush.

No. In addition to the fact that the US is not a member of the International Criminal Court, nothing Bush has personally done has violated international criminal law.
Many of the things he has done have violated US federal law, and he has ordered violations of many international treaties, but none of those actions give the International Criminal Court subject matter jurisdiction over his actions.

Nope, you CAN NOT charge someone with "CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY" for:
- being born a TEXAN
- becoming President of the USA
- kicking terrorist's @ss
- still kicking terrorist's @ss in the face of opposition
- still kicking terrorist's @sses some more!
The only crime so far is greeting the Pope with a "Hello Sir!" A real faux pas with the Vatican, but I'm sure God is all forgiving!
