President Bush and the administration led America into the Iraq occupation by claiming the presence of weapons of mass destruction and support by Sadam Hussein for Osama Bin Laden. Both sets of supposed “facts” are now known to be untrue. Invading an innocent country is illegal under both international law and the Geneva Conventions. Under those statutes the people responsible are war criminals. In light of the facts as we know them today that makes President Bush along with high ranking members of the administration liable for trial on charges of war crimes.
Given the state of affairs in addition to the ongoing admissions by the President of various illegal activities (warrantless spying and secret prisons) I continue to be amazed at the lack of any response by the American public. We should be outraged. We have been lied to repeatedly by a President who is by all definitions a war criminal. How much longer will we allow this situation to continue? We must demand an immediate end to the illegal occupation of Iraq and demand full legal recourse by international courts if we are to regain any measure of standing in the world community. We cannot stand still and allow our country to be led any further into criminal activity.
