@ Josiah33,

What did Bush do? He invaded Iraq, he declare war according to the USA constitution, the casualties you see in Iraq and Afga... can me argued to be casualties of war. However, you cannot go to war against your own people, that is crime against humanity, you cannot also attack unarmed civillians during war, that is also crime against humanity, while there has been a number of civillian casualties in Iraq and Afga... there is no clear pattern to suggest that US is intentionally attacking civillians in Iraq or Afga, get the point?

BUSH illegally created a case for war with Iraq- including a propaganda campaign, falsely representing Iraq as responsible for 9/11, and falsely representing Iraq as an imminent danger to the United States.

@Josiah33.
Wikipedia is not a great place to cite anything, but I will take it, The creation of a case for war in Iraq could have been illegal and the administration admitted that they used flawed intelligence, and I agree you can argue the legallity of the invasion, but invasion alone do not meet the standards of crime against humanity, it is what you did while in that country that could amount to crime against humanity. The question is can anyone establish a pattern that could indicate crime against humanity in Iraq?

1.5 million Iraqis were killed during the period of U.S. sanctions from 1990 to 2003 and another million died from the war and occupation of Iraq.
If that's not crime against humanity i don't know what else is.

@Drunkard Bush has got lots of problems now because of yet another international treaty-Convention Against Torture (CAT) which the US is a signatory to but is not willing to make him pay for his sins. When he travels to another country especially one that's a signatory to CAT he has to make sure the host country will not arrest him. He is guilty of torture ie.water boarding etc. And you want to tell me he is a great guy?
The US is under the obligation to prosecute Bush but it won't do that anytime soon. Imagine it were someone else from another weaker country-the US will be on that guy's case as if the the whole world's existence depended on his conviction.

@Josiah33,
Dude, I am not in anyway arguing that Bush is a great guy or he is not, lets stick to the facts, we weren't even talking about CAT.

Your argument about Bush being arrest is also misinformed, unlike ICC, there is no court established for CAT and therefore there is no sitting Judge to issue a warrent! The main reason why suspected terrorist were detain in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba was to avoid violation of US constitution. The USA is not under any obligation to prosecute Bush, whether you like Bush or not, the fact of the matter is Bush enjoy(silent) immunity as a US president, I am not a Bush fun but I do not use emotion to debate facts.

When Africans run out of ideas, they blame the "west" whatever that means.

Is the ICC credible and is there a possibility that it's used by Powerful Western countries as a political tool?


There is no question about that. Why didn't China ask Kenya government to respect the ICC ruling? Can you give me names of countries that finance the existence of ICC?

At the end of the day, America will prostitute us for many years to come in the name of imposing Justice.

Not to be mistaken for advocating for impunity, Uhuru has never helped me in any way. If he used Mungiki to stop the PEV, well, I thought I pay tax to sustain some policemen and the army to do that kind of dirty work. Ruto and Raila affected me when I lost a couple of millions at NSE due to PEV related issues. In short, they stole money from my pocket as they fought over who to become my president. Aint they idiots. Kibaki, he encouraged the violence through omission. I have no interest in all the others if these leaders are not put away in Mali to rot there.

When interest on bonds keep going up, you know the bear run is on high street. When interest on bonds start leveling, the bear has met the bull and they have hit rock bottom. When the interest rates on bonds start coming down, the bull has overpowered the bear and you better be riding the bull.
