We can call for justice all we want. It just does not happen the way it should in real life. Real life "justice" varies , not so much with the crime.....even though that is a factor, but with the status of the accused, financial, social, etc etc , and many other variables that are not even relavant legally. Cheney and his gang of misfits have been lawyered up all along. They are highly skilled at manipulating the laws to fit their own agendas. IF they decide that TORTURE is LEGAL using some perverse law then they will do just that.
The fact that they holler like the idiots that they are when another nation uses torture is beside the point (to them) Hypocracy is a verbal and attitude life style with them.
Fact" Torture is ILLEGAL , IMMORAL, INHUMANE and BARBARIAN.
Fact: the USG has justified the most outrages acts on the basis of 9-11. ( and if folks still fail to see what a windfall pollitically , 9-11 has been for the USG , then they truly are brainwashed or live in Alaska with what's her face.)
Fact: Canada would not be WISE to support Cheney's arrest. It would be political suicide.....as the ruthless , lawless US would take out its revenge in ways one does not want to even think about .
Fact: the fact that it should happen as the US is not going to do it....is almost beside the point. the most we can expect is some news items about it before it fades away and Cheney goes home the same as he came here.
It would be smarter to refuse to buy his book. And make no fuss about doing so. . Canada could go for a record NO SALES of the CHENEY Story (what ever the name is). And do it in a totally non aggressive way. But even that is a fantasy ....sigh.
when one THINKS about it..........why on earth would anyone buy his book anyhow?? Some discretionary decisions could have an impact. Burning his book for public consumption is old and is done by radicals. who want some TV time.
Yes, I do believe cheney was the senior decision maker for bush, absolutely, bush could not have made decisions re: going to war etc., on his own, he just didn't have the ability, experience, or clout, I
believe bush was put out there to run for office because he would dupe the american people into voting
for him thru his 'good ole' boy attitude, eg. a friend of the people, all just a front, nothing to do
with actually having any ability to run the country, and that proved to be true.
Yes, my discription is 'over the top', to make a point, my whole attitude concerning george bush has
never waivered, I have always seen him as a boob, a misfit in such a high office, an embarrassment to
his country, a 'mistake' by the american people.
me thinks you got it pegged. Bush the boy child wasn't even properly elected. He was a legal travesty. and the sheeple allowed him the office TWICE. Once might be considered a mistake. but TWICE???? that is no" mistake".
Something used to smell rotten in Denmark. but now it is closer to home.
How anyone could think he could run a country ( except into the ground) when he could not manage any of his businesses without being bailed out by either family or some Arab friends.
IF he had not been born to privilege .........one can pretty much imagine what shape his life would have taken. Reality is that he has the mentality of a street thug.
