#2--Sounds as if some people want their power back and will do whatever they can to accomplish that.

Even so the issue of 'illegal war' seems always to have struck a chord in a bigger way in Britain than it has here. Then again the Obama administration never brought any of that to a conclusion--like many of us thought it would. I can go around saying GWB is a war criminal and people mostly look at me when I do--that I'm nuts--which is okay--I don't mind being the crazy one. This guy has fucked off back to his Texas ranch and is living a life of leisure and respectability. It would seem to me that at least most people who had as much blood on his hands as he does would have a hard time sleeping at night.....but politicians sometimes are a different breed.

A British journalist attempted a citizen's arrest of John Bolton for war crimes some years ago...

Otherwise, Iriley, I suggest you come to Slovenia because I go around saying all that and more and everybody seems to agree...though occasionally they go 'Yeah right, Henry Kissinger', because the crimes go way back.
