Our Private Nuremberg?



International Froggers!

This post is for you.

I receive a ton of email. But one in particular caught my eye this past weekend, a discussion thread which questions why the international community is sitting around on it's hands in total inaction regarding the current President of the United States.

Bit of background.

George W. Bush "is working on ways to further punish Zimbabwe's longtime leader and his allies, saying Robert Mugabe leads an "illegitimate government" that retained power only through a fraudulent election."

(As if George was actually elected by the American people back in 2000.)

The question.

"Why is the rest of the world not working on ways to punish OUR longtime leader, who leads an illegitimate government that retained power only through a fraudulent election (and also wages illegal war, ignores world law, tortures prisoners, violates the constitution at every turn, thumbs its nose at environmental treaties, and on and on and on....)?"

What are you people waiting for?

Or is this America's private Nuremberg?

b. if they weren't in cahoots JEB and georgeco stepped in and had a 'special' election (kinda like 2000 and 2004) and handpicked a more cooperative one-er.
c. benazir bhutto'd their way through a couple.
