9/29 Is there any possibility of trying GWB as a war criminal?
\_ In the US the only possibility of a politician being tried as a
criminal is when you publicly sodomize an underaged girl, watch
little boy porns, or when your intern sucks your dick.
\_ In the US or in Europe? In the US, probably no chance,
in Europe, probably very easy.

as getting away with it. Nor does taking poison in your bunker.
\_ Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Shiro Ishii of Unit 731,
Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, the list can go on and on. |
