Should Canada prosecute Bush for war crimes?
As George W. Bush’s St. Patrick’s Day visit to Alberta draws near, the federal government is facing pressure from activists and human rights lawyers to bar the former U.S. president from the country or prosecute him for war crimes and crimes against humanity once he steps on Canadian soil.
Bush is scheduled to speak in Calgary March 17, but Vancouver lawyer Gail Davidson says that because Bush has been “credibly accused” of supporting torture in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Canada has a legal obligation to deny him entry under Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Yes, it would be a good example. And to those who say G.W. Bush has not committed “War Crimes” — yes, that is technically correct, BUT he has committed “Crimes against Humanity” by sending troops into Iraq in violation of the UN Charter and against International law.
Personally I consider every US president from Truman to G.W.Bush to have committed either War Crimes or Crimes Against Humanity and that they and the senior members of their administrations should be tried, even posthumously.
