How much hypocrisy can we live with?

Cut to the chase: I still have a difficult time understanding why no one in the U.S. government seriously entertains prosecuting George Bush for war crimes. The record is quite clear that everyone was deliberately mislead about the reason for the Iraq invasion. Any armchair prosecutor can see all the facts on this one. Of course the rich irony is that the U.S. invaded Iraq because Hussein was a war criminal. He was tried and executed as such.

And yet, for the Americans and the rest of the Western world it's completely history, yesterday's news. No one wants to look at it. This isn't a matter of Democrat or Republican. It's a basic question of whether we uphold some of the most serious laws we have.

Until the U.S. and indeed Europe faces this and deals with it, I don't think they'll ever have credibility with the rest of the world. The blatant double standard is just too much and too obvious.
