- polymath22, on 10/22/2007, -4/+51ill find inner peace with Iraq once the criminals who started this war of aggression face their tribunals...
- polymath22, on 10/22/2007, -1/+5There is an expression about "taking care of your own."
To me, that means "looking out one another",
as well as "holding your own people to account"...
these war criminals may be able to avoid international tribunals by not entering into certain treaties, but I fully expect the AMERICAN criminal justice system to extend it's legendary "long-arm" and bring them in...anything less is an insult to American Ideals...- ninjasteeve, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3um America never recognized the international courts hence the rest of us cannot do a thing. Its up to America either to prosecute him or recognize the international courts and let the world take care of him. Come on guys, you are always the center of attention in your world, throw us a bone and let us convict Mr Shrub. He'll get a stiffer sentence instead of the probable end result right now: a presidential library full of coloring books.
- Identity4, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3America's "long arm" is too busy cramming its thumb into its own ass.
- socketman, on 10/22/2007, -10/+0Where's the crime?
- TheRealAlzabo, on 10/22/2007, -0/+8It's criminally partisan and callous beyond the pale that you even ask.
- caferrell, on 10/22/2007, -0/+2The crime is manipulating and fabricating false evidence in order to justify the use of American military power in an unjust, illegal, undeclared war. That would be fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. How's that for starters?
- polymath22, on 10/22/2007, -1/+5There is an expression about "taking care of your own."
- StatiK69, on 10/22/2007, -1/+34So he finds inner peace with a war that end up killing thousands. There is a special place in hell for people like Bush.
- williamdyer, on 10/22/2007, -0/+14Hundreds of thousands.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/22/2007, -0/+2That was the first thing that popped into my mind.
- heystoopid, on 10/22/2007, -0/+9Sadly for wankers like Bush , living in hell would more like a holiday then any form of punishment .
- kodomosuki, on 10/19/2007, -4/+1Isn't that place reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the theater?
- StatiK69, on 10/22/2007, -0/+6No, that's in a separate office but in the same division.
- williamdyer, on 10/22/2007, -0/+14Hundreds of thousands.
- DreKor, on 10/19/2007, -4/+10Of course he's at peace, he's bringin' Jesus back.
- ZenMojo, on 10/19/2007, -1/+3Prince: "Jesus never left."
Dubya: "If Jesus never left, then why is everybody on my *****?" - dupswapdrop, on 10/19/2007, -1/+3I hope Jesus remembers the pork chops.
- ZenMojo, on 10/19/2007, -1/+3Prince: "Jesus never left."
- jd33, on 10/22/2007, -1/+17"We are being buried beneath the avalanche of your inadequacies, Mr. Bush."
- postingbh, on 10/22/2007, -1/+44My foot wants to find inner peace in his ass.
- ZenMojo, on 10/22/2007, -0/+7What a coincidence, my foot wants a piece of his ass....
- SirZRX, on 10/22/2007, -3/+1the fbi will be knocking ur door in no time
- morningmatters, on 10/22/2007, -0/+13That's what happens when you are surrounded by yes-men..
- fractalman, on 10/22/2007, -0/+17Bush can say what ever he wants, but he will never know inner peace as long as he walks the face of this earth.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1I bet if he goes to jail, he'll take up drinking again when he gets out.
- polymath22, on 10/22/2007, -0/+14sorry about the comment abuse, but i think this submission should have gotten a bit more attention, it was just shouted to me, but it is over 1 day old, so it's "stale"...
this is a video of an altercation at a school in miami where the cops walk around with gas masks and nite sticks and spray bystanders with mace and club people.

In this clip you see the dude simply holding a video camera get maced and then you hear the other cop hit him in the leg. I guess its against the law in Miami to use a video camera outside now. - skews13, on 10/18/2007, -0/+2doesn't it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
- Shaman760, on 10/22/2007, -0/+15Good for him.
When he is on trial in the Hague perhaps his inner peace will help calm him.- ninjasteeve, on 10/19/2007, -1/+2How will he go on trial in the Hague when the US hasnt recognized the international courts?
- polymath22, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2good point. we should recognize international criminal courts. courts are a civilized way to examine the facts of the matter. The 50 individual states live peacefully under the umbrella of the united states, because the states agree settle their differences in federal court instead of on a battlefield.
but, using courts like civilized people depends on BOTH parties to agree to peacefully settle under the rule of law, instead of rushing off to settle it with violence.
bush obviously has reason to fear international criminal court, which is why he is reluctant to agree to be bound by it. But I have faith in the American Justice system, which, in a dramatic twist of fate, may be more harsh on him than the international court would be. We have the death penalty, while the rest of the Western World has abandoned it. sweet irony.

- xXGeechXx, on 10/22/2007, -0/+7Typical Bush
- provost, on 10/22/2007, -0/+11of course he found inner peace.. he has no soul and accomplished what he wanted to accomplish: an endless war that has no real 'out', and even in the event of an out, will still be profitable for him and all of his war profiteering buddies and the neo conservative agenda.
he doesnt care even in the slightest about human life and has no scruples about sending people to die or the people that are killed because of his actions.
He got what he wanted, so thats where his inner peace comes from -- his agenda was accomplished. - hawkeye17, on 10/22/2007, -1/+18Bush has the conscience of a serial killer.
- CarolinaHeel23, on 10/22/2007, -16/+2our President is a great man.
- SirZRX, on 10/19/2007, -0/+4___________
our President is a great man /sarcarms off.
________________
Done i fix it for u- Identity4, on 10/19/2007, -1/+2you just made a double negative. "/" denotes end, thus: "end sarcasms off"
- polymath22, on 10/19/2007, -1/+1good catch
- Identity4, on 10/19/2007, -1/+2you just made a double negative. "/" denotes end, thus: "end sarcasms off"
- Chassit, on 10/22/2007, -0/+7If by 'great' you mean evil, then yes you are correct.
- jgzman, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3Yea, great at getting us into trouble!
Sorry, Obi-Wan
- SirZRX, on 10/19/2007, -0/+4___________
- socketman, on 10/22/2007, -12/+0And why shouldn't he? He is doing great things to make the world a better place.
If history has any sense of justice, he will later be remembered and revered for being such a visionary and having the balls to carry it out in the face of all the naive critics.- TheRealAlzabo, on 10/19/2007, -0/+3Wow, such Aggressive Mediocrity. That's amazing......
- LeeSoong, on 10/22/2007, -16/+1Well Mr. Bush did just Meet with the Dali Lama,
Life is Suffering - get over it, already.
Everybody dies eventually anyway.
If they behave themselves in Iraq, they should be just fine.
Smoking kills more people than warfare, you don't see Mr. Bush growing tobacco.
and the Middle East Needs Strong Leadership - it might as well come from Washington D.C.- bsmang, on 10/22/2007, -0/+4Lol... Well there certainly hasn't been any strong leadership from Washington D.C. for the last 7 years. (Assuming that strong leadership equates somehow with good leadership as opposed to just being able to get what one wants.)
- Identity4, on 10/22/2007, -0/+4oooh! I see now! How blind i was!!
Bush is actually trying to help us all. Since life is *****, he is just wanting to end it quickly for us! how nice of him. And oooh...he met the Dali Lama, well he must be a saint then, for meeting this guy. wow.
Please check yourself into a rehabilitation center. I say that because I really care about your health and well being...
- TheRealAlzabo, on 10/22/2007, -0/+8Of course he's got inner peace, he's managed to funnel MANY billions of the public's money into private hands via the deaths of thousands of our good young people and the slaughter of uncounted innocents in the Mideast, as well as the ongoing bonecrushingly corrupt handling of the obliteration of large parts of one of our own major cities.
Sure he's well pleased - "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" - Deecver, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3Since it's apparent impeachment isn't going to happen.....the U.S. MUST see that he faces War Criminal charges, and whatever else he has coming for these actions. It's the only possible way we can start to redeem ourselves after our unbelievable ability to turn our heads. Power to the Sheople!
- Chassit, on 10/22/2007, -0/+6It is easy to find peace with ones role in a war when you are evil.
- AnyColorYouLike, on 10/20/2007, -2/+1I hate seeing fantastic lines like "was the lone dissenter in a 27-1 vote." to reel me in, followed by garbage like "At stake was the fate of the planet..." Just because the author has us in agreement that Bush is a simpleton doesn't mean we'll agree that he holds the fate of the planet in his hands. Anyway...
Very well-written article beyond Tom Englehardt's intro on AlterNet. Great passages left, right and center. I love all the farce that the Bush administration provides. - Stevanoski, on 10/22/2007, -8/+1God Bless President Bush, the best president in the history of the good old USA.
- KillGoreHazFun, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3Sarcasm?
- argotechnica, on 10/22/2007, -1/+1Even though Bush is a self-righteously pretentious, deadly incompetent, and embarrassingly powerful moron... I still have a problem with a piece of writing that has such unabashed bias in its title and still calls itself "news." And it's not just because I'm a journalism snob.
I think that bias (i.e., judgment) like this, especially when it's so clear, compromises some of the palatability of the story itself. In other words: a lot of people who would like to, or who even *should*, know about this interview, *won't* because of the clear spin that's put on it. - KhanneaSuntzu, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3I am sure then he'll also be able to find peace in Prison. Or dangling from a noose.
- bshock, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3Can we impeach Traitor Bush now? Please?
- caferrell, on 10/20/2007, -0/+2We need a President who is not so sure of himself. We need a President who stays awake at night, whose conscience drives him to reconsider what he is doing, who weighs the deaths of our soldiers and the deaths and suffering of Iraqis who never requested our "assistance" against any possible foreign policy gains. We need a President who reads enough history to know that the Intelligence services are wrong more often than they are right and that historians are right more often than they are wrong.
We need a President who wakes up in a cold sweat as he considers all the death and destruction that he has unleashed.
If our President is Christian we want him to follow Christ who exhorted us not to kill. Ever. For any reason. We do not want a "Christian" President who when he was Governor of Texas sent more than 150 men to their deaths in the electric chair without any problem with his conscience.
We want a President who is an empathetic human being, not a monster born with a silver spoon in his mouth and no concept of decency, politeness or morality- Observant1, on 10/22/2007, -0/+1we need a president that can say "this is *****" and undo previous presidential pardons!
- mrsdz50, on 10/20/2007, -0/+1In ancient times there was a king who believed that the best way to deal with those Greeks who couldn't seem to recognize his power as King of Persia, was to subjugate them. So the king, set out to do just that. He called in all those who he had alliances with, built an incredible army, even tried to tame the sea, and then surrounded himself with advisors who would only tell him what he wanted to hear. Further, he "believed" he was right and even when some dared to question his motives or means, he simply had them killed, cut in half actually and put by the sides of the road for all who passed by to witness. Being "dead right" and then "finding peace" in that is a sure recipe for destruction. The king was eventually sent packing back to Persia.
