Yes, I believe that when Bush's term ends, if he plans to tour the world like many ex-presidents do, he'll need to be careful where he sets foot, or else he could face an arrest warrant in any number of nations.Marc McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105754072842852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-31312661663210859662007-07-12T13:23:00.000-05:002007-07-12T13:23:00.000-05:00Its all so amazing isn't it?

In right-wing world, you always need some lurking "enemy" out there to justify whatever mischief you want to perpetuate. For Hitler, it was the Jews, for Bush it's "terrorists", ie, anyone he doesn't like. It is way past time for one final act of extraorinary rendition: sending Bush and Cheney to the Hague to face the World Court. There's little doubt that such an action would eliminate a lot of "terrorism" from the world stage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-74210732935585832632007-07-12T01:59:00.000-05:002007-07-12T01:59:00.000-05:00Hi Red Hog, thanks for stopping by.
