In reply to a suggestion of crimes against humanity by the Bush administration.
They would have equally as good a case for a peace prize as Obama, none were any worse than he. Don’t be so quick to forget about Sadam’s mass graves and human rights “shortcomings”, to put it lightly. While it can easily be argued that the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t, Iraq is arguably no worse off today than they were before, and potentially better off with a regime that has some level of openness to citizens. Surely you jest with the terminology. Hitler committed “crimes against humanity”, if we’re to believe the history books. 11 to 14 -million- people. It was a stated social policy of racial cleansing. Not even in the ballpark with crimes committed by an individual or individuals that may or may not have been known by the administration.
Far be it from me to say that Bush et. al. were saints or angels – they weren’t. There are innumerate examples of half truths, deceit, and outright lies attributable to that administration. Not at all like the current administration who has flatly stated their plan to run the country into the ground and taken every conceivable opportunity to rob their citizenry blind for generations to come. I find the indentured servitude of 300 million people for who knows how many generations as close to a crime against humanity as anything Bush may have been accused of. You can only kill me once, but to crush my will indefinitely? That is unforgivable.
