Dutch magazine: 'George Bush no. 1 war criminal; above Kim-Jong Il and Mugabe'
Dutch magazine 'Revu' has compiled a list of the 10 war criminals that need to be send to The Hague to appear before the International Criminal Court. The list includes, among others, Kim Jong-Il (North-Korea), Mugabe (Zimbabwe), Ahmadinejad (Iran), Bashir (Sudan). But the number is none other than the president of the United States.

Below is the cover:

Will Limbaugh or Bill O' do a piece on this, trashing the Dutch? I can't wait!

30. Frankly, I hate the 'sarcasm'-tag. It undermines the purpose of posting a sarcastic message.
;) (Smilies are fine.)

9. Well, I never cared for Tulips, anyway. And wooden shoes hurt my feet.
And Strudel is not in my diet. Doesn't go well with Gin.

11. Struedel is Austrian
So you can make it part of your diet.
Maybe we can rename Dutch treat to Republican treat. After all, the Repubs think we're all on our own anyway.

8. The website doesn't provide a full article, but...
But it has an introduction:
http://www.revu.nl/11834.Revu's_Grote_Boeven_parade

The headline says: "Karadzic caught, now bring on the rest"

It then goes on that tell about the recent arrest of Radovan Karadzic, his crimes, and then asks the question who should be next to be tried in The Hague. Quoted is 'US-expert' Van Rossem, who can't wait for Bush to come to The Hague, to see if the US would set in motion the The Hague Liberation Act (which means the US army would invade us to free any Americans who are being held by the ICC). :rofl:

13. Does the ICC have any armed guards?
There are a lot armed Bushbots in the US, many military veterans, who would love nothing more than a big shoot out

16. Remember the The Hague Invasion Act? The good old USA might invade us...
to bring back good old Dubya. (I don't know whether to laugh at this thought or to be afraid such an Act actually exists.)

31. Well, Ahmadinejad is the president of a state that hangs gays just for being gay...
And since we are the country where 4 members of government and the major of our capital are on deck of the ships in the Gay Parade (yesterday), we tend to have a problem with that.

It is sad Iran is receiving so much sympathy, just because the US is threatening it. It is one of the worst and most oppressive regimes.

28. Hmm, that's a tough one.
Kim Jong Il has starved his own citizens for years leaving them far behind in terms of economic development and in complete isolation. Any disobedience to Dear Leader will no be tolerated. All the while he lives in extreme decadent splendor.

Mugabe has turned one the few success stories in Africa into a violent wasteland, destroyed the farming industry, brought in hyperinflation, ruthlessly terminating his opponents political and otherwise, starting a war to gain access to riches (second Congo war, sound familiar), all the while living a personal life of privilege and splendor.

Our own dictator has...well, we know what he's done. No need to go into that.

Outsiders can declare someone a dictator more easily than can the populace of that nation. The reasons can vary, from fear of retribution, to ignorance, to blind zeal. Make no mistake though, Bush is a dictator, something our free press dare not utter.
