why did all calls from the democrats for GW to be tried as a war criminal stop?

It sets a precedent therefore others would follow.

That and they don't do rational thinking very well.

Any conflict in the world will have collateral damage, no US president has ever intended to puposefully kill innocent people (I am guessing for the most part, I would like to think this anyway). Obama is doing what Bush did and what every president has done. Every modern president has been in volved with a conflict or battle, and when they give orders they are essentially killing people, good or bad. Really, we need to rethink the things that we do as a country... sometimes they are nessisary, but we should realize what we are doing.

No. I think they didn't have a leg to stand on. You know, there was a

ton of Democrats that signed for Bush to allow troops to Iraq. It was

a good move as Iraq citizens no more have to worry about Saddam

Hussein who loved to murder men, women, and children. Our troops

found huge pits where he threw their naked bodies stacked ten feet

deep. He was a dictator, a monster, an ogre, and he trained terrorists

to do their evil deeds. The horrid criminal was Saddam Hussein. I

applaud Bush for this scary move.

Because that was a pile of crap, Bush did not break any crimes and is not "wanted" by anyone, except the terrorist muslims like every American is.

There are no such things as innocents in the middle east, they are all a bunch of terrorist cavemen that need to be ended.

Actually, Obama squashed the idea. He said it wouldn't be productive and he was right.

We are in the middle of war, civilian casualties are a given even though we try to keep it to a minimum it cannot be avoided.

That powers that be never paid any attention to those calls. People get tired after a while.

No, it has more to do with the fact that it was all just political rhetoric. Anyone with a brain knew it wasn't really a good idea.

if he steps foot out of the US he will be arrested and sent to the hague for trial . you will NEVER see bush leave US soil again .

no it is because they new it was a lie when they started it
