should George W. Bush be charged with war crimes?

Question

well he is responsible for inhuman torture, illegal wars, invasion of sovereign lands, genocide in the middle east and many more.

I'm neither a republican nor a democrat sinc eI'm not an american.

1. George Bush and Dick Cheney ordered a War of Aggression against Iraq. This constitutes a Crime Against Peace - for which Nazi leaders were prosecuted at the Nuremberg Trials - and violates the UN Charter.

* Iraq never attacked the US or threatened an attack, so the US was not acting legally in self-defense, which is permitted under the UN Charter.
* Iraq played no role in the September 11, 2001 attack on the US and never provided material support to any terrorist group that attacked the US, so even the non-legal Bush doctrine of pre-emptive attack did not apply.
* At the time of the US attack, Iraq was nearing full compliance with UN Resolution 1441 and prior resolutions requiring disarmament, and the majority of the Security Council believed UN inspectors should be given more time, so the US was not enforcing UN resolutions,

That is my belief, but it's also would be enlighten to receive views different from mine. Not just the ussual ad hominem cop out "iraqi are terrorist" or "dem bs" since I'm not even a democrat to begin with. And I even like Ron Paul for his no vote for the war.

Answer 1

I think he should, but it'll never happen.

Answer 2

it rather isn't any secret that maximum human beings of Nursing residences do no longer furnish the final of care. The day that George Bush left workplace, he snuck in legislations making it extra no longer uncomplicated to sue a Nursing abode for inadequate care. George would be getting many company kick-backs.

Answer 3

He never committed any Crimes.....

In Fact, if you want to get technical......

Iraq was in violation of the 1st Gulf war treaty and every UN Resolution passed after that time.
Which, if you want to get technical, Gave the US and NATO the authoruty to go to war...
But many simple-minded folk like yourself seem to forget those facts.....

PS
I'm glad your not an American

Answer 4

if this was a a world where your feelings dictated the actions of others, then perhaps....

since this is a world governed by reality, then "no."

And this is not the opinion of some Bush apologist, but rather that of the International Court in the Hague, to whom most of you self-hating Americans pledge your undying allegiance. Three separate attempts to charge Bush with war crimes according to international law have been tossed out as "beyond frivolous." Do you suppose "they" have infiltrated the world court as well....?

Answer 5

...Based on your tirade, I would say you are a disgruntled American citizen, hoping to remove President Bush.as quickly as possible Here are few thoughts:
...He is not responsible, nor is the United States responsible, for the 9/11 attacks on our country. President Bush decided to do something about it, to fight back, and they have put to death forever many terrorists whose only ambition in life is force others to their way of life and religion, and torture, maim, or kill everyone who will not submit to them.
...You should be ashamed, bud, you are on the wrong side. Our men and women are fighting and dying to keep those vermin (the terrorists) out of the US - and you are worried that a few war criminals aren't getting all their strokes. Study your history and you'll see that in previous war many were executed on the spot - your PC police I guess didn't exist in those days.
...If things are so bad under Bush, why don't you relocate to some paradise like Cuba, North Korea, Iran, China, etc, where everything is fair? You'd never have a standard of living like you have in the US.
...You ought to rethink your position, and look at the logical ends of it.

...Mr. Budak - all parties involved got the same info, and even many liberals like Kerrey and Clinton said let's go into Iraq. Iraq was given plenty of time to remove WMD's into Syria, Iran, and other terrorist harvest fields. They might also want to check the Euphrates River bottom. And some weapons have been uncovered that were buried.
...The results in Iraq have been beneficial, even if our intelligence was off. A scoundrel (Sadam Hussein) was captured, tried, and was executed, and can no longer maim and kill his people, and he cannot endanger the world's oil supply.
...The US has improved the Iraqi standard of living with infrastructure improvements and other helpful things, which most liberal media outlets ignore, because most don't want us to win.
...One more thing - do you realize that the United States is a sovereign nation also, and we are not subject to the dictates of the 3rd world and Communist dictatorships who dominate the UN?
...Last, Iraq under Hussein violated UN resolutions for years, in violation of his agreement - he brought it on himself. Nobody in the UN had the spine and the ability to kick his backside but us.

Answer 6

Your additional details:

"well he is responsible for inhuman torture, illegal wars, invasion of sovereign lands, genocide in the middle east and many more."

Since you already seem to have an answer to your "question," I fail to see the point in responding with my opinion, since you'll undoubtedly give "best answer" to someone who parrots your existing belief anyway.

Good luck with that.

Answer 7

umm... dude... Clinton also bombed and killed many people in Iraq, Shoud he be charged with war crimes also?

In 20 years, I bet you that we look back at W and say that he was a good president, and that he did the right thing.

Answer 8

the world will be more stable if he was able to stay in power for 4 more years.

Answer 9

He already has admitted.Bush confessed to war crimes. Nicolas J S Davies, Online Journal Contributing Writer. Sep 11, 2006, 00:31
George W. Bush's speech on September 6 amounted to a public confession to criminal violations of the 1996 War Crimes Act. He implicitly admitted authorizing disappearances, extrajudicial imprisonment, torture, transporting prisoners between countries and denying the International Committee of the Red Cross access to prisoners.
http://www.lafogata.org/irak/irak.22.1.htm Here you can see what happen with children in Iraq, 250.000 Iraqi civilians under 14 years old have been killed by coalision forces.

The liberal media didn't create this reality, bad policy did. James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, Warren Harding were all failed Presidents but the damage this President has done is historic. His mistakes have global implications, while the other failed Presidents mostly authored domestic embarrassments. And speaking of domestic embarrassments, let's look at President Bush's domestic record. He cut taxes and I like tax cuts. But tax cuts combined with reckless spending and borrowing is criminal mismanagement of the public's money. We're drunk at the mall with our great grandchildren's credit cards. We traded tax and spend Liberals for borrow and spend Conservatives.
It is the crime of conspiracy to commit murder if the success of that intentional criminal lying campaign would result in knowingly causing the death of innocent people; such as a President and his staff deliberately convincing America, Congress, and the UN to approve an illegal war based on lies about a non-existent threat of attack on the US.
It is the crime of mass murder if a fraudulently obtained approval results in a Presidential order for an actual unprovoked attack on an innocent country; an attack that knowingly kills over 400,000 defenseless civilians, most of them women and children bombed in their homes, and causes the death of over 3,800 Americans.
It is premeditation to commit mass murder if a President and his staff adopt an illegal war crime plan, such as Clean Break, and then intentionally carry it out, step by step: both its criminal fraud lying campaign over the following two years, and then its plan of actual unprovoked attack that deliberately caused vast destruction in an innocent country, and the horrible death of hundreds of thousands of its people.
