    Bush is not responsible for any of what you blamed on him. He did a legitimate move. I guess you would rather an Iraq where if you say that you think Saddam should be thrown out of office your nuts would be cut off.

    Be glad for your damn freedom and stop blaming US and Bush for everything. Arabs should be one of the last to talk about war crimes if they support guys like the President of Iran, Hamas and not to mention the late Saddam.

    I wonder what your attorney was smoking? Anyone who says that does not know what he is saying because if Bush is responsible for war crimes then so would every senator and representative including all the other countries who originally agreed to invade Iraq.

    Your point was?

    Oh yes they do. Its so quick how people forget what religion and political leaders have done to them through the decades. And yet the still blindly follow them.

    I agree Fmr. President Bush is indeed a war criminal and that he fought an illegal war against Iraq. His anti-UN war manouvres should be put to trial to see if it was legal, was about the oil or just to protect his dad against Saddam's previous threat. Unfortunately the USA is not a signatory to the international courts so this is never likely to happen.

    I also think it was not up to the shoe thrower to meter out his own justice and yes he should of also been punished for that crime. I think three years is too harsh for the crime considering he missed both times! 1 month would have served its purpose.

    I wouldn't expect you to understand because you blindly follow what ever you want to believe.

    And as for your source that is what you call a commetary on the news. The Huffington Post is extremly bias. If you want me to take you serious get news from a reputable organization like the BBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and if you dare FOX.

    Let me ask a question. Didn't innocent civilians die when the U.S liberated France, the South Pacific, Poland and the rest? If you expect that liberation does not come without a pirce...

    Number Of Iraqis Slaughtered In US War And Occupation Of Iraq 1,311,696
    Number of U.S. Military Personnel Sacrificed(Officially acknowledged) In U.S. War And Occupation Of Iraq 4,259

    But if you dont care about ppls who died there, even you dont care soldiers(usa soldiers), I guess you americans should throw at bush shoes too just because about $605,591,944,997 spent on occupation of Iraq..

    I guess the answer to that is yes but what that has to do with an illegal war in Iraq is beyond me!

    How can you compare those to a war that the UN didn't sanction, in fact disagreed with?

    If it really was about saving people from an evil despot then please explain why Mugabe remains in power, just to name another amongst many.

    The Iraq war shows how arrogant you people had become. It was wrong however you look at it and hopefully GWB & his partners in crime will be judged for it, in court.

    Estimated number of people killed under Saddam regieme: 1 million.

    Obviously you cannot blame the US for all those deaths because many of them were carried out by Iraqi civilians themselves.

    Its a hard fact of life that civilians suffer more then soldiers during liberation.


    The US does not give a damn about the UN. It is impotent body that does not have the balls to stand up to one major dictaror and tell them to cut it out or else.

    The U.N does not govern the U.S and it never will. Tell the U.N to go talk to Russia who invaded Georgia, or China who is killing off the Tibetians or the Congo.

    And good luck trying to catch George Bush and try him in court becuase its never gonna happen. If Johnson, Nixon GWB Senior and Clinton all got away with it, what says George Bush who has ties all around the world. Its not gonna happen so continue dreaming.

    3 years seems a bit much. He will go down in history as a hero, regardless.

    i don't expect you to understand either.
    i don't care where the news coming from as long the news come with the truth.
    A Report on United States War Crimes Against Iraq to the Commission of Inquiry for the International War Crimes Tribunal

    yes, maybe saddam killed more people than bush, but...

    saddam killed people, and so was bush.
    saddam already put on trial and hang to death, now i'm waiting for bush...

    all war criminals should put on trial...

    I must agree that he, and his cronies, probably won't be brought to justice by the courts but I wonder how many of his new enemies are plotting his end right now? I know if he caused the death of any of my family I wouldn't give up hunting him, and his cronies, forever. He won't be out in public and will be running scared for the rest of his life.

    You seem proud of the fact the US disregarded the rest of the world's opinion, using trickery and lies to do it. By going alone, the decision to fight turned the UN into an irrelevant body.

    That's good news! that's way too better than killing him. I don't mean they did good putting him in Jail. But I mean compared to death, Jail is much better.

    4k soldiers died in Iraq yet?.. Are you kidding me?. "It takes human not machines to take an whole territory" - Unknown

    That's what the Media say! the real number of soldier died in Iraq is more than 4k.

    America is not hated around the world. If we were hated so many of you Arabs, Asians, Europeans would not be clamoring for our hamburgers, blue jeans and rap and rock music.

    America is far from hated. Bush might be hated by many in the world but not America. Without us the rest of the world ceases to exist as we know it.

    The day America becomes hated worldwide is the day when you and everyone else stop using Google, Microsoft, Pepsi, McDonald's of and your awesome Mac computers.

    But I'm guessing that will never happen. The American dream has blinded ye all:rolleyes:

    As I said before. Had this been done to Saddam this man would not be alive. So let him be glad. He should probably see what its like to swim in one of Saddam's acid baths.

    Thye dont hate us worldman, they hate our foreign policies, and how we speak about wanting to see democracy spread throughout the world, yet throughout our post ww2 foreign policy history we have physically and covertly done the opposite. We completely obliterated democracy in Iran in 1953 when we took out the peaceful and democratically elected leader mossadegh and have yet to appologise to the iranian people for it. Is this arrogance or what? Ithink the world will start to believe in our foreign policy words when we start to truely act on them in fairness and equality to all countries. Iran is just one example. There are many many others.

    The shoe thrower shouldnt have gotten one day in jail. His intent wasnt to hurt the president but to embarress him and tell him what freedom loving people think about the iraq war.

    The american dream? Correct me if im wrong but isnt part of the american dream is for our country to promote and spread democracy all over the world instead of destroying democracy and putting dictators in its place? I would say that this is the more important part of the american dream , wouldnt you? I would say its much more important than junk fast food and microsoft lol.

    Thanks Ziya, just speaking the facts and I have posted these things many times yet the people who support this war will never respond to these facts as it will force them to take off their rainbow colored glasses to see things as they really are;).
