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 ...

There is a principle by all opressive rulers (such as ours) it goes- the crimes they do matter, the crimes we do are ignored.  Some people call this a double-standard, but in fact it is a single standard used by all opressive regimes.  So regardless of whether or on Osama (who, by the way didn't even know 9-11 happened, he indirectly funded it supposedly) is as murderous as Bush... of course on every level of measurement Bush is worse, but in the US we cannot be objective and are forces to give in to blind flag-waving patriotism and think that we are innocents when in fact we are the most aggresive, out of control state on the globe.

GW Bush is a bad president.He is conceit and a great liar.He has slandered the Sadam head of the government of Iraq.He instructed his arm forces to attack Iraq by accusing they had mass destruction weapon but in fact Iraq has no that weapon.\nThey are many innocent casualties by his attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan.There are many orphans,widows and handicapped people in Iraq and Afghanistan.They destroyed many historical buildings in Iraq and Afghanistan.Almost everyday its victims are added. in those 2 countries.Bush supported Israelis government for killing and attacking Palestian muslims and christians in Libanon and Gaza almost everyday there are many casuallties\nGW Bush is criminal of war. and a great terrorist  in this world.He should responsible fpr that.Many prisoners of war were tortured in jails by his soldiers.This act is against with mankind and humanism and the principles of human rights.He should be taken into international court for his criminal acts to other people of other countries.He is a big agressor.He could  not manage his goverment in a good governance.During his administration there are many corruptions and unemployment increased..He used many millions of dollar from the tax payers for killing other people in other countries..

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!!!

Bush going to war violates international law but it does not constutute war crimes such as genocide. According to the Un resolution 1441:\n\n"The Security Council may decide what measures not involving the use of armed force are to be employed to give effect to its decisions, and it may call upon the Members of the United Nations to apply such measures. These may include complete or partial interruption of economic relations and of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio, and other means of communication, and the severance of diplomatic relations."\n\nTherefore the US can not declare war alone, it must do so in conjunction with the UN, this is why there was a coalition of the willing not the UN as one body. And this statement cites sanctions as appropriate actions not an invasion. Also this statement in effect recalls previous resolutions that list it's expectations of Iraq and calls for continued weapons inspections to which the inspectors found no weapons and concluded the resolution had been abided by.\n\nWith that said the US has commited war crimes, I think obvious example might be (I apologize for the spelling) Abu Grahib or kidnapping suspected terrorists from other countries and not labeling them as prisoners of war and therefore not abiding by the Geneva conventions in providing those prisoners with what the conventions declare them access to. Bush himself declared this a war on terror. As to whether Bush ordered these events to happen despite some evidence is still somewat inconclusive. However when he uses the words dead or alive and attempts to have bills blocked that reiterate the US stand against torture then something is amiss, and as commander in cheif it is his responsibility to ensure this does not occur which has not been done. However, he will never be convicted or tried.

wrong as wrong can be, every death that has happened over there since the day of our invasion, has to blamed on bush.  he should be tried as a war crimminal in iraq.

I think when we become them that we are losing the war. To torture or kill innocent civilians is just plain wrong and I do not care which side is doing it. I think that the ones responsible ought to be held accountable for their actions and the one most responsible, the president should have to stand right beside them in an international court and defend their actions. I feel that Bush is guilty for leading us into the war for no good reason in the first place and he and his cabinet should be tried as war criminals. It would give me more pleasure then it should for the camera's to be on when they dragged him down the white house steps in hand cuffs and leg irons and wearing an orange jumpsuit to take him to this trial.

No, racism and bigotry aren't crimes.\n\nAnd even if they were, why would you punish a whole country for something ridiculous some nutcase said?   \n\nIf you start doing that, imagine the fines that will be levied to the USA for each "Bushism".

Very good question...\n\nMy answer is merely opinion. I think Bush has not been charged with war crimes, while he clearly has committed them, because the USA is currently the only superpower.\n\nThink about it... what if Germany had been the only superpower during WW2 and had won? The world wouldn't have been able to charge Hitler with war crimes.

Iraqis are killing each other.  The only thing President Bush is guilty of is trying to keep us safe on our own soil.  All is fair in love and war.  It's a war and I should know---my husband is deployed there.

The war wasn't a mistake.  Saddam was sentenced to hang by his country.  \n\nBush is a good president.  He's the only one that followed thru with the inspections and he tried to get them to cooperate.

Bush should be tried for crimes against the English language.

Of course it wasn't...\n\nThey had to nuke 2 cities? Killing INNOCENT women & children?\n\nIn response to an attack on a military installation...\n\nI think today that would be considered a war crime.

Boy, am I not convinced by his "I was too busy running the company to run the company" answers. At best, he plugged his ears and went "nyah, nyah, nyah" whenever he heard about something that didn't seem right, and is guilty (morally and legally) by default. At worst he was an active participant.\n\nWhile I don't think he and Bush had anything illicit going on, they certainly knew each other socially. Bush probably was too busy running the country to pay much attention to him during the funny business.\n\nHe's gonna go down.

George W. Bush is a war criminal, a mass murderer and a barefaced liar. He can't be charged since he is still in power. "Diplomatic Immunity".  Because he lied, our troops died. Because of his arrogance and his favoritism between Shiites and Sunnis, a civil war occurred in Iraq and death among innocent people multiplied. So who is responsible for all this fiasco and death in Iraq? Bush and his Evil Team are responsible.
