If we adhere to the most basic of morals, that we must apply the same standards to ourselves, that we apply to others.\nThen there is no doubt that international law should also apply to us. \nUnfortunately the USA is alone in exempting itself from international law, the world court, and virtually every understanding that the rest of the world is expected to comply with.\nThe Geneva conventions were written in an attempt to criminalize the atrocities committed leading up to, and during WW2, this was not an easy task as allied forces had themselves done some immoral things.\nTorture was of course, an obvious war crime, and it has been so since Geneva.\nUnfortunately during this extremist Bush regime, the US has done the unthinkable, not only has it tortured, and contracted out torturing or anyone who it sees fit to accuse of being a terrorist, but it has tried to change the law to avoid prosecution, and to legitimize torture in the future.\nThe USA has unparalleled economical, political, and military power so it is difficult to hold them to account if they are unwilling to cooperate, I would be surprised if the charges filed in Germany will lead to anything, but the people filing seem to be confident that the court has no excuse this time to dismiss the case.\n\nThe world would be a better place if the USA had to conform to international law, the key players in the Bush regime should be tried for war crimes.

Yes, he is.  His administration is responsible for the war crimes of:  1.  A war of aggression.  2.  At times, ignoring the Geneva conventions.  eg. torture of POWs, targetting civilians...\n\nHis administration has consistently blocked serious investigation of events of 9/11.  Lies to justify attacking Iraq.  Protection of corporate interests at the expense of the poor, domestically and internationally.  Repression of independent media (ie. not corporate owned with nationalist leanings)  And so on, and so on...  Hippocracy of having nuclear weapons at their disposal, and threatening their use, while claiming that no other nations (especially Muslim nations) should ever have this right.  Further, nations labelled as enemies are denied by the US their internationally lawful right to pursue nuclear technology for electricity production.  Yes, Bush is a tyrant.  His policies have led to the deaths of thousands of US soldiers, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis (many civilians), and many others.  He is guilty of war crimes, and should be held accountable for his aggressive, imperialist crimes.  Impeachment, international trial, jail.

Yes, we should care, they are doing what they think is right. They sign up to follow orders and it is the leadership that is responsible for this criminal act and they should have to stand trial for it. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and now Rice should all have to answer for this war. The solders themselves are the victims.

Condy and Bush and all of his crew should be indited for crimes against humanity. Remember she was national security advisor, advising Bush to go to war over all those weapons of mass destruction that did not exist.

Crimes against humanity? If you want to see crimes against humanity why don't you go live in the former Yugoslavia, or in Afghanistan under the former Taliban, or in Iraq under the former dictator Saddam, or in the present North Korea or China. You are a moron, and don't know what humanity crimes are. This is 2006 not the barbarian ages and the U.S.A. is just bringing these above mentioned countries out of the dark ages!!!

He should execute.\nBut before that I prefer to listening/watching his advocacy about a lot of other subjects including, Iran-Iraq war, His supporters during the war, Chemical weapons that used during the war against Iranian and Iraqis, Slaughter innocent people during his regime, etc.\nThis court is wasting time just for one of his slaughters and I'm worrying about other crimes. It seems they don't want to plead them in the court.

There appear to be issues around the fairness of his trial. If these are contested then it could drag on for years and years. He is not the only tyrannt in the world and there are more than him guilty of war crimes. \nWhether he will eventually be executed or not, or serve out a sentence somewhere (like Rudolph Hess) remains to be seen.

No what he does is not right..he should be labled a criminal and should be thrown in jail. The pain and suffering caused by Bush, all the death brought on by all his lies is horrendous...He is a very evil man and should be on trial right now just like Saddam!!!

President Bush is guilty of many things and will be remembered as the worst President in the History of the United States.

I absolutely do not think that Tony Blair and George Bush should be tried for anything whatsoever ... they are brave, courageous gentlemen who have placed themselves in harms way out of love for their respective countries and humankind ...\n\nIt is difficult to understand fully the plight of war; however, this is a necessary one, an extremely important and necessary one ... \n\nEach and every time I read that one of our beloved guys have been murdered in the Middle East I sit and shed tears of sorrow; yet, nonetheless, I know that it is necessary ... sometimes I get 'mad' at President Bush ... I think \n"what is he doing" ... "what has he done" ... but then I realize that what he has done will make life so much easier down the road ... of course, realizing that we will always have a presence in the Middle East forever and ever ...\n\nWe can never allow the horrific 9/11 event to reoccur ... ever ...

"Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been convicted of crimes against humanity by a Baghdad court and sentenced to death by hanging. \nHe was found guilty over his role in the killing of 148 people in the mainly Shia town of Dujail in 1982."\nWhy is he sentenced?Because elections are nearby so Bush must prove somehow that he is making progresses in his "war against terror"...
