Using exactly the same criteria used at Neurenburgh and the Laws of both the US itself and International law,their simply is no question that Bush et al are guilty of crimes against humanity.
Given it's massive ability to control and use the media both in the US and to an extent elsewhere,one sees the media totally and deliberately avoiding any and all discussions/reporting on Bush's crimes exactly the same way the German press made no mention of Hiltler's crimes against humanity .
Make no mistake whatsover that comparing Bush to Hitler is completely valid BASED ON THE DEMONSTRATED SIMILARITIES OF THEIR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND THEIR ABROGATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
NO,Bush has yet to commit a mass GENOCIDE but we are talking here about CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY which have a different definition.
Just because Bush wraps himself in GOD and spews his filthy stinking lies that Iraq is all about democracy/liberty and freedom DOESN'T MAKE IT SO just as Hitler's lying spewings didn't .
Here are but a few URLs testifing, with VERIFIABLE FACTS, to the charges against Bush.
Like at Neurenburg ,Bush like Hitler did no have to be personally involved in the crimes against humanity only be found accountable for the situation in which such crimes were committed.

For years now,many countries have demanded to question Henry Kissinger about the numerous situations he was accountable for (such as in Chile and Vietnam) in respect to crimes against humanity .
In fact three years ago the Netherlands was on the verge of issuing an arrest warrant for Kissinger for Crimes against Humanity (exactly the same thing Spain did some years ago when it had Pinochet of Chile arrested in London) but the US used it's awesome military ,economic and political power to threaten the the Netherlands (specifically removing NATO headquarters from the country) to drop the charges which sadly they did.
To see the average filthy stinking lousty monumentally hypocritical and morally BANKRUPT American Christians refuse to even acknowledge Bush's VERIFIABLE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY is simply a dispicable ,revolting reality not un-like the friggin CHRISTIAN Germans who stood by their crimes against humanity commander-in-chief HITLER.
You know the answer to your question which of course is NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
TO THE VICTORS GO THE SPOILS.
As the sole super power ,the US can literally get away with CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND NOBODY WILL/CAN STOP THEM.
HOPEFULLY ,when China becomes the sole superpower it will but America and Americans on trial for all these CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
That the US justifiably points a damning figure to China for it's horrid human rights violations and crimes against humanity BUT then acts in a filthy HOLIER-THAN-THOU manner is refusing to be held accountable for it's crimes against humanity ,is damnable.
The ONLY difference between the US and China is the DEGREE and EXTENT of their atrocities.
It does not matter if a pediphile molests once a year or once a day,they are both PEDOPHILES
Now come on you Americans,spew forth your staggeringly hypocritical INDIGNATIONS .

No because the ICC, International Criminal Court in the Netherlands, conducts war crime trials, not the country of origin of the perpetrators...
War crime charges work like this:
- first the country committing the acts is warned to fix/stop the problem either through legislation or directly
- that is why we had several cases concerning the detainees go to the Supreme Court where the Supreme Court ruled that Congress needed to legislate laws relating to them... they sent it back but not back to the Appeals Court, to Congress to fix... this bought Bush more time.
- once the Supreme Court did finally rule there were some problems with not giving the detainees a trial, Bush had to accommodate...
If he had refused, the ICC would have charged him with war crimes. The pt is that while the issues are still 'in process of being examined by our court system' the ICC will not charge him.

I hope so. It's truly appalling to me that no one is doing anything about this obscene travesty. All the crap that has been done -- trumped up information to "justify" the invasion, violating the Geneva Convention, deaths of countless Iraqi civilians, suspending Habeus Corpus, spying on Americans, wanton destruction of ancient cultural icons, etc etc etc -- and these evil men are still at large rather than rotting in jail cells.
It's sickening, and it makes me ashamed to be a native-born American. If Washington, Adams, Franklin, and Jefferson were alive today, they would vomit.
I get so angry whenever I encounter someone who's similarly outraged, but then confess that they don't write to their senators and congress members to complain and demand that something be done. What the hell happened to acting on ones convictions? Jesus, with e-mail you don't even have to spend money on postage like in the early days of my political activism.
Write to your elected leaders! It's your right to do so, and even if they don't directly read it their staff will and will compile your message/position into opinion tallies that the politician WILL review.

I don't think the American people will be their judges. We've already judged them in the last election, and found them wanting.
It is history which will judge them, and they will very likely be long remembered as the administration which was most abusive and destructive to the U. S. Constitution, the closest thing America has ever seen to a dictatorial regime, one of the most corrupt administrations in American history, and probably the most dangerous, not only to Americans but to the world.

Not possible. Legislation was passed in November of last year preventing any action being taken against them for any of the events surrounding the wars. A pre-emptive pardon, if you will.

No, they would have started that already. As far as their legacy goes, it depends on the "historian". In American history at least they will probably be laude as heroes. Not all history books agree. That is why it's called "His story".

I dont think so. And we dropped out of the world court so that Bush Co can evade prosecution after they are out of office.
