We need to get past the idea that these totally rational actions are not possible.

Let him speak. Mr Bush, now retired from a torturous job, should be mandated to a withholding of 43% of his speaking fees, said withheld amount donated to Amnesty International. Let good come from his unfortunate earlier decisions.

Along with every new death in Iraq is a new war crime for Bush. Since the US is still under a rogue government that refuses to bring justice, the international community may have to do it for us.

Peace activists are banned from entry into Canada. War criminals are welcomed with open arms. The rightwing in this country has made Canada a sad place indeed.

Thank goodness that nasty shoe-thrower in Iraq just got three years for his heinous actions.

True justice has been served. Now we can continue bringing peace and democracy to the world, one bomb at a time.

Let Bush enter Canada, then arrest the bastard. Extradite him to Nuremberg for his war crimes.

NUREMBERG II 2009

You all know by now nothing is going to happen. Time to move on.

"Bush is expected to visit Canada on March 17, to give a speech in Calgary as a guest of the city's chamber of commerce."

Hell, you can't let war crimes stand in the way of "free-trade"!

George Wanker Bush has been spending a lot of time lately tutoring Chuck Norris on the finer points of being an Emperor. Norris has promised The Wanker that after he assumes the throne and successfully secedes from the Union to create The Empire of Texas, he (Norris) will make him ambassador to Afghanistan which will become the first colony of the Empire of Texas, thus fulfilling the old dream of the Confederacy for dominion over the lowly, lesser peoples of the earth.

This will be the topic of Bush's speech in Canada. By implication, he will be asking the Canadians if they wish to become Texans. And you can be guaranteed that with blood brother Stephen Harper still in charge there, no one is going to arrest the dumbest shit in the entire history of the world for anything.

This is a great idea, and I wish other opposition groups of other countries would follow suit. I doubt France or Germany would ever have the spine to do something like this, especially under their current administrations, though countries like Sweden or even Spain might. I think if even one 'major' country instituted such an order, the thing might snowball.

The fact that this bushwacker of our democracy and war criminal is free to make his Bs speeches, shows me that we no longer have a democracy based on the rule of law.

Why not arrest him and put him on a small rendition jet to The Hague and try him. Allow him to have his bodyguard protection. Send the keep bill for the bodygurds to the NRC. Treat him nicely and tell him he's going to Disneyland Europe!

It will be interesting to see if this happens. We hold our past Presidents in such high regard that I don't think we will ever try one for these kinds of charges. If we did, in this instance, many others (congresspersons, advisers, etc.)could also be held accountable, (see Nuremburg)and they could also be charged for lesser crimes. This would involve congresspersons still in office. Perhaps, though, if enough "friendly" countries would ban him and those in his administration that had a part to play in the run up to, and the execution of the illegal war and all activities stemming from it, our country would find courage to do what is morally and legally begging to be done.

I heard recently that you cannot enter Canada if you have a DWI on your record. I guess the Canadian government has to draw the line SOMEWHERE!

I would classify Bushwacker and Rummy as "ENEMY COMBATANTS" disapear them to a dark dungen and water board them until they told the truth about the torture and the real reason for the invasion of Iraq. I beleive that our new President has the power to declare anyone an enemy combatant per bushwacker law.

Whether those responsible will ever come to trial or justice is a matter for many to discuss. There are no statute of limitations on these many crimes committed by those following the Bush administrations leadership, except those created by time and death.

To the twelve 'good and decent Americans' I have spoken of often in the past, this does not apply to you.
To the "other Americans"---or perhaps that should be spelled "hte reoths Mirenasc"---mainly because you are 'all mixed up'-------------
is this
The very fearful consideration for people to consider should be that after all that has taken place in the history of the twentieth century, the USA and the other 'victors' of WWII--- a major event of the century and most of history-- stood in judgment over those who committed terrible crimes against humanity.
Now, the leaders of the 'victors', just barely two generations after standing in 'judgment' are known to have committed the same terrible crimes against humanity.

Many people would rather 'move on', but to do so without calling these and so many others to the same 'judgment' as they stood in over others would most likely be a very large bright and clear signal to the world, that the world has no other choice but to step in and take control of the USA.

The world would have no other choice but to make the necessary changes to assure that the same never happened again.

Contrary to the "propaganda" taught in the school system of the USA, the education systems of the World at large have taught the truth concerning the USA. Concerning the crimes against humanity of the nineteenth century. Their own violations of their constitution by the US Gov. concerning the Treaties with the Tribes of the North American region, now known as the "USA". Their waging war of aggression against Mexico and that the USA has thus far failed to observe all of the conditions of that treaty as well. Indeed they have observed few of the treaties they have signed, and do so with what seems to be little fear of answering for the same violations they have called others on. In fact the USA went to war against Iraq for a supposed violation of UN Resolutions while the USA violated several treaties for waging "preemptive war".
Do not be so foolish America to think that the world does not see this and so many of your other violations.

On a more personal level, if I were a European in particular, with exception of the most conservative of the British,or any other nationality member I would be very afraid of the USA. They are a dangerous nation. They have proved themselves capable of absolutely anything, and will justify with the most absurd logic every thing they do. With these latest revelations they have confirmed, once more, the very serious fears of the world.
It is also for good cause that they hold the USA most responsible for the economic collapse as well. So you see America, do nothing, and "move on", but at your own peril.

The world cannot possibly tolerate much more of you.

The world would not even need to invade the USA. Simply cut of your funding, and much of your supply, and you would turn on yoursleves----as you have in the past.

So you see it may be that the only reason the USA ever existed was/is as a terrible warning for history.

In my tribe we often say "if you know what NOT to do, you got half of it down".

Good luck America, you really need it.

Civilization cannot afford to just forget the inhumane acts of the Bush administration. We ignored the facts that the elections of 2000 and 2004 were stolen and look what it brought us. The war criminals of Nazi Germany were prosecuted at Nuremburg. The fact that these war criminals are American does not and should not immunize them from prosecution. America has supposedly always stood up for truth, justice, and I'm no longer sure what the American Way is, but I am sure that we can do much better than we have in the past 8 years. Time to wake up and stand up, folks, and NOT GIVE UP, for if we give up, injustice will prevail.

The way to "move on," contrary to Thomas More's crap-out use of the phrase, is to uphold those laws, national or international, that foster creation of a Do Unto Others moral conscience among our wayward, violent species.

Every time those particular human laws that are intended to compel us to behave decently and accountably toward each other -- are broken with impunity, especially when it's politically elected officials doing the breaking, civilization and the universal human condition itself is degraded. Sunken worse in fallenness. Drawn back down to the Law of the Jungle.

The Allies could have taken Mr. More's glib approach to judgments of fundamental right and wrong, after WWII -- but if they had, all the moral clarity and international legal progress that resulted from the Nuremburg trials (modest as it was) would never have even occured or had a chance of taking root within historical memory.

Similarly, the surviving victims of Pinochet's legal and moral violations (against the Chilean citizenry) would arguably never have come to any instructive light had Mr. More's "move on" advice been followed, there.
Ditto for Kruschev's courageous efforts to illuminate Stalin's crimes, in the USSR.

I think that simply "moving on" -- w/o official, public-moral illumination and legal accountability after egregious crimes have been committed by a government -- is a morally obscence idea, scarcely less immoral than the crimes themselves.
Even if you don't want to look at it 'morally,' moving on in this way is, a fortiori, IMPRACTICAL.

It's wishful dreaming, what the article's about, and my explanation is in the following post, should anyone wish to read the abstract notion proposed.
