...then why the hell can't we even get an INVESTIGATION of George W. Bush?!? Are we "better" than all these third-world banana republics? Or worse?

I'm sure there are many more ex-Presidents and ex-Prime Ministers that went on trial than I have listed above. A lot more. But none in this country. No.

We almost had one, until that rat bastard Nixon resigned the Presidency, pre-empting his trial.

Our current President says that we should be looking forward and not backward. Oh. Really? And exactly how do you prosecute crime in the future, Mr. President?

Our current Attorney-General also doesn't seem very interested in any laws that may have been violated during the Bush administration. Fine.

If any country is unable or unwilling to investigate wrongdoing on the part of its leaders, that duty will fall to the International Criminal Court.

Oh, right. We're not members of that body. Sorry!
