Whether you kill or pardon the George W. Bush you see on TV for unjustified crimes to humanity will make no difference at all to him: Another copy will just become a substitute - the being you see is a doppel ganger of the real George W. Bush. The same goes for the Saddam Hussein you see.

Netsbridge you have a point there is a difference between the Bush the media wants you to see and the real Bush. The media put everything the wrong way for example when our troops were deployed into Iraq the media showed the soldiers as poor unlucky guys that had to go to Iraq, but when an Iraqi civilian is killed by soldiers in self defense suddenly our men are horrible people.

I'm not certain that's true, but thank you for your comments.

Redneckguy86, I, too, like reverse psychology. However, my response has a very literary implication - the being George W. Bush and most of your politicians and their cronies are in fact doppelgangers of their real selves! Yes, those beings you see are actually robots! If you, however, want to keep looking for more nonsense to attempt to justify the unnecessary 2003 invasion of Iraq, then y'all are free to do so. Only the uninformed do not, yet, know that the unnecessary invasion of Iraq was a customary revenue generation for the imperialistic, piracy British and US governments!

None of those were done to US citizens, and all of them are under the cover of national security, making them impossible to prosecute. The wiretapping isn't even real. The don't tap everyones phones, they just monitor suspicious overseas call patterns, they don't actually hear anything. It hasn't been abused yet so your rights are intact. There is nothing in the Constitution about a right to privacy.

He has implemented policies of unlawful arrest, detention, interrogation, beatings, abuse and torture and he has spied illegally on American citizens.

I believe that people are the most powerful force in deciding what will happen in our world, but it will be difficult to motivate millions of people to fight for change. So you are basicly correct. Thanks for commenting.

Bush has committed crimes he just hasn't been charged with any. Without being charged and then sentence for a crime, no pardon is necessary.

I believe everything Bush has done, good or bad, has been done with the best intentions. If he's made any mistake it's been his failure to execute his plans properly. And, that can be blamed as much on partisan politics as on him.

There is a possiblity that he may be charged with crimes in the future, but it is a very small posibilty. Most Americans would object to a past or president being charged with a crime due to their respect of the office not necessarily the person.

Hey man sorry to tell you but there is this thing called war when you are at war you use things like white phosphorus and cluster bombs, And anyway Bush doesnt tell his generals where to drop the bombs and which buildings to burn. These are not crimes.

I don't spend my time researching Bush, but I am interested in politics and current events. No I don't get my ideas from the Democrats or any one source, but I used to be a Republican until that party came to be so radical right wing. I'm kinda the middle of the road in most areas. Thanks for writing.

Conspiring to start an unlawful war of aggression- justified by lies, unlawful killing of thousand of Iraqi civilians, use of cluster bombs, depleted uranium, and white phospherus against civilian populations, violations of human rights guaranteed by the UN Charter, the Geneva Conventions, The Convention on Torture, the Alien Tort Claims Act, lying to congress and other federal officials. Just some examples.

Bush did nothing beside send our troops overseas. It is Rumsfield we should be thinking about. There is no weapon of Mass Destruction?

I don't agree with you about the only thing Bush did was send our troops overseas. Read up on all the lies and violations of the laws and our constitution. Thanks for your comment though.

What crimes? Every action he has taken has been signed off on by Congress, including Congressional leaders who say they don't agree with him. If he's breaking a law, so is everyone else in Washington.

Even if those in congress agree to what Bush's actions it does not change the fact that those actions are crimes. Thank you for writing!
