What Bush did was at our expense and besmirched our name.
We should be the ones prosecuting him, not Canada.
As was already pointed out in this thread, are you going to do the same with each and every current living former president as well? Will you include Obama?
They're all guilty of the same things.
Also, besmirched our name? Please...the last 75 years of our foreign policy has been a disgusting affront to so many nations around the world, it's highly unlikely that George Bush pissed off anyone who wasn't already pissed off at us for some other act we've undertaken.

Sure. It's the only way of deterring future presidents from aggression.

Oh, but you're wrong there. There's one country to which we've never done so much as give a tepid and tentative grunt of displeasure, courtesy of AIPAC.

True...if anything, we haven't beat the middle eastern war drum enough to their liking.
We should really be careful with them. They might go after another of our ships.
Sooner or later G.W. Bush will have to account for his war crimes. This case is one where he just got lucky they didn't grab him and prosecute him.............
“Canada has the jurisdiction and the obligation to prosecute a torture suspect present in Canada, including a former head of state, and even one from a powerful country,” said Matt Eisenbrandt, CCIJ’s Legal Director. “Canada’s failure to conduct a criminal investigation and prosecution against Mr. Bush when there was overwhelming evidence against him constitutes a clear violation of its international obligations and its own policy not to be a safe haven for torturers.”"
No, it may take some time but just like the Nazi war criminals that are still being found , tried, and punished today ,some 67 years after the end of WWII, the day will come when Bush and all those who committed war crimes with him will come to justice.
What the public must do is never forget ,and never forgive, to keep the hunt for justice against Bush & company alive.
What is it with you progressives and characterizing your ideological opposites as "NAZIs"?
Somehow I can't see you types clamoring for justice against Castro, still living accomplices of the Pol Pot, Soviet and Honecker regimes.
Bush isn't going to get tried and convicted of jack sh*t (well, maybe speeding or DUI), anywhere, anytime.
Get a new fantasy.
The Bush and war crimes one, while amusing at one time, has gotten as stale as a Che T-shirt on an upper middle class, college student pseudo-revolutionary.
What's Canada's jurisdiction here? Methinks they don't have one.
Even if they did, there would be no more Canada if they tried.
