White House backed release of Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi | The Australian

Dude, not saying the guy deserves a break, but our current president and the last 3 presidents could be called mass murderers, and with a much larger body count. They can be brought up on war crimes by international law, but since they are presidents will never get nailed.

I call flat out bullshit. Not Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, or Obama should be called mass murders or war criminals. If I honestly felt the last four presidents were mass murders, I would resign my citizenship and find another country.

Sammy, both Gulf Wars were by the book unconstitutional, the second one was illegal under international law. Not to mention both started under false pretenses. Clinton and the Balkan tragedy was also based on hyped up BS that justified what we did. The "atrocities" committed by the Serbs were done after Bubba started the bombing, so what came first the chicken or the egg? Obama has turned the war machine up a notch in Pakistan and with the extrajudicial killings. Both are illegal nationally(constitutionally) and internationally. In 1945 we hung or shot a bunch of Germans and Japanese for the same crap. We set up these laws and now break them at our leisure. But if other nations do the same, we bomb the shit out of them. Well over a million Iraqis are dead(half by those wonderful Clinton/Albright sanctions). Who knows the body count in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

They had money to build an army durn that time and he built palace after palace but he allowed his people to die because he did not care what happened to them. The sanctions had nothing to do with the death of Iraq's it was the actions a SH not caring about his people and spending their money on other stuff.

Ok so where is the part where it was any of our business? Thousands of people die everyday because of some asshole dictator. Why should we pay for their freedom with our blood and treasure? All they do is spit in our faces, just like those GD Haitians! Meanwhile, we're on the edge of insolvency.
