When warlords and corrupt governments prevent aid
from getting to the victims of famines from drought in Africa like in Somalia and Ethiopa in the past, the news immmediately labels it as genocide. Why is this different?

BushCo is guilty of genocide IMHO and shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

1. Yep - and crimes against humanity
I wish that the UN would charge him.

He belongs in the Haige - for crimes against the citizens of both the US and Iraq.

4. The Hague won't hear any case unless a sovereign nation
files a complaint. Maybe now some nation will step up to the plate and do so.

Canada?

Iraq? (They have plenty of complaints to charge him with.)

6. How about Venezuela?
Maybe we should all be writing Chavez. He did offer to help with gas prices, after all.

8. I don't want anyone of Bushco going to the Hague
The Hague to my knowledge, has no death penalty. For crimes like this, someone should be sent to the gallows

2. I agree with you wholeheartedly
We have a habit of criticizing other third world governments when they fail to assist their people, but who will criticize this administration?

10. They have been answering with the usual lies.
Now we need Congress to get the whole lot of them under oast and force them to tell the truth.

12. Hard to disagree at this point
I think the 'g' word is indeed appropriate at this point.
