Seriously enough with the whole "Blame Bush" "Bush is evil" crap. Yes he was a terrible POTUS, but Obama isn't any different. There is no Republican or Democrat foreign policy and policy on torturing, it's just one American Foreign Policy and yes, it's a terrible policy.
Yes Bush took us into Iraq, Afghanistan, and opened Gitmo, but guess what, after 2 1/2 years of Obama being in office were still in Iraq, we're expanded in Afghanistan, Gitmo (which he promised to close) is still open because he wouldn't close it. So what exactly is the difference?
Not to mention how in hell would Canadian Activists arrest a former POTUS? Good lord, the ignorance of people astounds me, it really does.
Part I Article 1 1.
For the purposes of this Convention, torture means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.

If the POTUS can invade other Countries on 'Humanitarian' grounds, do you not think the POTUS should answer for Crimes Against Humanity?
He admits in his book that he did it, it's a fact. Is that not enough? Or should it just go away like everything else?

You're acting like the man committed a genocide. If you wanna go after bush for this you're gonna need to go after a lot more people to. Wasn't there just an article or leaks that some information about Osama's whereabouts came from Gitmo interrogations.. hmmm.
Oh and also Obama asking support for USA Mission in Libya yea, bush is the only one that takes us into wars.

The Right wing in America detests Global Law and the ICC because it flies in their face of 'american exceptional ism.' And that is EXACTLY the point of this pres release. TO emphasize that struggle between those two opposing forces. Not all will understand, on either 'side'.

Funny, you are the first person in this thread to mention Obama. The OP certainly didn't. Or is this just a rehash of the 'ol 'cant ever mention anything Bush did because that must mean you are an Obamabot' approach meant to avoid discussing anything that happened before january 09?
On topic: I think it's a noble gesture, but 'vow'? Really? They can't POSSIBLY think they really will be able to even touch the guy. till, I wish them the best of luck. Want me to nab harper if I ever see him south of the 49th?edit on 23-5-2011 by incrediblelousminds because: (no reason given)
