Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we - George W. Bush (Freudian-Slip during BBC interview)


...if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched - George Bush Senior (interview with Sarah McClendon, December 1992)

When determining the proper punishment, I think the victims should have a say, and their's should carry the most weight. Many of my ancestors were murdered by Hitler and his, but don't even think I am the one to really know what would appease them.

Most of these Nazi war criminals have one foot on the pedal and the other in the grave. Every step they take leads them further from heaven.

The US has a mixed program when it comes to hunting down war criminals. We have been pretty good, I think, regarding Serbia and Rwanda, but poor when it comes to prosecuting war criminals who are among our allies, e.g. China, Ukraine, or Morocco.

Is this something that the US government should address head on?
