What are some of the emotional arguments for prosecuting Bush for murder?
1. No one is above the law. 2. We still live in a democracy, built around the rule of law. Surely the American president is not on a par with dictators, like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini. 3. Over 4,000 soldiers, and well over 100,000 Iraqi civilians are lying in their cold graves because of this misbegotten war. Many soldiers died because of improper equipment. It is outrageous that they were misled into thinking they were dying to protect the U.S from Saddam Hussein, when he was not an imminent threat and had no involvement in 9/11. 4. The whole world is watching to see if the citizens of the United States hold Bush accountable for his crimes. Bringing a prosecution against him will improve our standing and reputation in the world.
