Then again, I don't think that we should deny holding anyone accountable for the atrocities they cause simply because the person heading our country has not yet been prosecuted for his own crimes. I would hope that the ICC would prosecute Bush, but the US isn't part of ICC and has no jurisdiction here. Genocide is a ridiculous crime and the people who perpetuate it should be prosecuted...at the very least.

Its a heavily complicated situation and as an admittedly apathetic African American, I'm always questioning to what extent Western propaganda filters into these discussions. Who am I to champion the trial of Al-Bashir, with Bush sitting pretty on Pennsylvania Ave? Especially after this whole Iraq thing, I find myself second guessing my opinion more than I care to. you know I’ve been half ass following whats going on with the politics in Africa.
