Bush History: Bush Adds USA to List that Includes the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge, WWII Japan 11/30
President Bush adds the USA to a list that includes Hitler's Nazis, Cambodia's Khmer Rouge (Pol Pot), and WWII era Japan. Bush high-level insiders and military authorities admit Bush has OK'ed what they would consider to be torture, even if the president denies it. And our allies? According to a Navy Commander: "They call it for what it is, torture".

1. "They call it for what it is, torture". This will be Dumbya's legacy.

5. Come January 21st the world be ready to move on!
Although I think that there are a lot of lessons to be learned by reading of Bush's failures.

7. Many people will be trying to figure out what went wrong and when.
There will be plenty of people looking back to the Bush Mess.

9. 9/11 will be scrutinized the same way JFK's assasination was.
And along with 9/11 will be the rest of Dumbya's occupation of the White House.

2. Worse than torture, according to the Nuremberg Trials, was "pre-emptive war"
The greatest war crime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_aggression

The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which followed World War II, stated: "...to initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."
