Toronto Star - Indict Bush?
In Tuesday's Star columnist Thomas Walkom asks whether Bush should be welcomed to Ottawa or banned, citing Canada's Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes Act. Would Canada, or any country, risk indiciting an ex-American president for war crimes, especially after Belgium's weak attempt to that?

I don't blame Canada for not wanting to take on Dubya. After all look what happened to those of us here IN the US that took him on. It is not Canada's place to fight our battles for us. Until more of the American people wake up and see him and his cronies for the people they are, we are doomed to a repeat of 2000, & 2004.
I tend to look at things from a logical standpoint.Example,with billions of stars throuhout the universe I believe it is only logical to believe that there are other life forms somewhere out there. With regard to the 2004 presidential election logic tells me this. If the 2000 election was decided based on deceit and corruption then 2004 would be no better. Logic tells me that if more people registered to vote in 2004 than ever before it would be to remove from office the man who unquestionably had the worst record of any president in history. No logic here. It appears to me that one of two things happened. Either the republican party was able to really gain that much support from their dedicated followers or they were able to somehow fabricate the 5.5 million votes. In 2000 we were dissappointed with the way some voting machines punched holes in the wrong spaces. This year some of us were dissappointed with machines in key states that were incapable of a recount. There was no paper trail. The machines were manufactured and installed by friends of the republican party.Last but not least. these machines could have been programed with votes allready registered at any time prior to the actual elections. One final bit of logic. If the people most concerned with the outcome of this election really wanted to hide their deeds from the general public, they wouldn't have made things so obvious. In my logical way of thinking there was a two part mission here in 2004. First was to secure the election results by whatever means available. Second, was to show the American people that they could.
Practically speaking, the President of the United States is untouchable by any law other than US law. So far, THIS President of the US has been untouchable even by US law, and apparently the same applies to his stablemates (e.g., Tom DeLay).
We fought Gulf War I for the legitimate reason that Iraq had invaded another sovereign country without provocation and deposed its leaders. This behavior could not be tolerated in a tense, violent world. The US is now guilty of the same act, and whatever mandate for it that Bush now smugly claims is based on a collection of transparent lies.
So...yes, Mr. Walkom, it is a seductive fantasy, to imagine George Bush sharing a cell with Slobodan Milosevic. Isn't it?
So amazing blog
