Booing of Britains returning 'heroes' - what's your take on it?

It's just misdirected anger. It's the government they should be mad at, it's not like the troops have any choice in where they go.

I genuinely believe Bush and his cronies are guilty of war crimes far in excess of Tariq Aziz who they are trying right now.

I hear lefties say this from time to time. Can you expound on this? Which war crimes? And would the Hague even hear this?

Well the unprovoked and aggressive occupation and invasion of another country in defiance of the United Nations for starters.

The proven and heavily documented use of torture at Abu Ghraib and other places.

The wilful deception of the American people in presenting demonstrably false 'facts' of weapons of mass destruction and an imaginary threat in order to mobilise support for his plans of Middle East conquest.

The Red Cross has spoken publicly in their belief that he is a war criminal.

Manfred Nowak, the UN's special rapportuer on torture has called Bush a criminal over the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Even the UN general assembly chief Miguel d'Escoto Brockman said the American military occupation of Iraq needed to probed by the United Nations, as over 1 million deaths have now resulted from this war, meaning Bush has far far far more blood on his hands than Saddam Hussein.

Obama's running mate Joe Biden claimed in 2008 that he and Obama, if elected might investigate and seek prosecution of George Bush and his administration for war crimes.

Even Obama himself said in April 08 that if elected he would ask his attorney general to review the Bush era actions to see if any genuine crimes had been committed.

There is a substantial body of evidence against Bush and it wouldn't suprise me at all if in years to come he is called to account for his actions.
