There is no reason to prosecute bush for war crimes since we know we don't have to worry about that anymore. People are just seeking revenge.

1. Sorry, it's not revenge.
When laws are broken, the folks breaking them get punished.

5. The Bush crimes were unusual
No one declared war on us. We're the ones with the responsibility and need to prosecute IMO.

Hi Peggy! :hi:

2. I'm not unhappy that Obama will not use torture
I'd like to see Bush and company prosecuted, but there's no statute of limitations on war crimes, so time is on our side.

14. I know you're being sarcaastic, but I beleive the face value of your statement.

It is really people's bloodlust that is being catered to. And there is also an eerie, almost pornographic zeal by the ultra-left to read these memos.

"OOOH, did you see page 17! About the insects and stuff? Fascinating! (oh.. I mean, DISGUSTING!)".

This is what you want the President to spend his political capital on? Maybe if all this happened during a time of prosperity we could devote some resources. There are just too many other pressing agendas right now.
