Bush at Nuremberg?
A brilliant friend of mine pointed out that, if Bush were indicted at Nuremberg, he would probably be guilty of three of the four counts. He's right - with the exception of Count Four, Bush and Co. would be guilty, putting him in the same league as Erich Raeder, who was imprisoned for life. Hmmm.

Indictments

Count One: Conspiracy to Wage Aggressive War
This count helped address the crimes committed before the war began, showing a plan to commit crimes during the war.

Count Two: Waging Aggressive War, or "Crimes Against Peace"
Including “the planning, preparation, initiation, and waging of wars of aggression, which were also wars in violation of international treaties, agreements, and assurances.”

Count Three: War Crimes
These were the more “traditional” violations of the law of war including treatment of prisoners of war, slave labor, and use of outlaws weapons.

Count Four: Crimes Against Humanity
This count involved the actions in concentration camps and other death rampages.
