I enjoyed - and agree with - your column on the reasons for bringing Bush to trial.
Some comments:
1. There are also many valid reasons to try him in an American court which might make a good piece for you in a future column.
2. There may be significant economic benefits that would likely follow his defeat, arrest, trial and conviction. That neonazi cloud that's been hanging over the world's largest economy these last three and a half years is at least partially responsible for the lack of consumer confidence! Seriously though, major events like the the removal of a madman from power (not their madman our madman!) can and do have positive economic impacts.
3. The so-called third-world countries are losing faith in democracy as a course to take, thanks to bush.
I believe they're saying, "hey we can't trust democracy of autocracy because if the USA - the most established democracy in the world - can't stop a madman fromtaking over, how can we?In other words, throwing bush in jail ( i oppose the death penalty, even for bush) would restore world faith in democracy as a system that works.
The Freepress display is up and running at my shop inthe Starway market. Numerous freep books and mags are ondisplay and it is the centeroiece of my antiwar/antiviolence art exhibit.
