Our Military Is Keeping George Bush Out of Prison
by James Glaser December 14, 2007 Really now, if the United States didn't have the most powerful military on the globe, other countries would be asking for George Bush's head. To much of the rest of the world, George Bush is a fiend (a person of great wickedness or maliciousness). CBS News came out with a story back in March of this year about Japanese war crimes during World War II, and how they relate to what America is doing today.
This week there have been news stories about Japanese officers being executed for water boarding Americans during the war. Today, we admit that we use water boarding to torture answers out of prisoners. We killed people for doing the same thing to Americans, but today George Bush claims that water boarding is not torture. Just maybe we should apologize to the families of the Japanese we executed, as according to our President, those Japanese officers were not guilty of a crime. If George Bush didn't have the United States Army and Marines willing to protect him, he would be on trial in the World Court for war crimes, and he would be found guilty. Why? Because America has become like the barbaric Japanese we put on trial. |
