Not sure that Bush needed to be charged with war crimes, but I do think Sharon should be put on trial.

Also, the defendants are Hutu. Until recently, the country was ruled by Hutus (I think a Tutsi was elected at the last election for the first time in some years). What kind of justice do you think they would have received under a Hutu regime? It would be like asking Slobodan Milosevic to chair the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal...
And, Jeff, I AGREE that it was a lame sentance. We are in agreement on this. BUT, I still maintain that it is better that such people receive some punishment rather than going free. The nuns claimed sanctuary in the convent and hence the UN War Crimes tribunal in Rwanda couldn't touch them. They only faced justice because the Belgian government brokered a deal with the Vatican. It's a fascinating story.AIRIGAMI.NET
