Omar al-Bashir of Sudan and George al-Bush of the United States

What is the difference between these two men? Very little. They both are mass-murderers and they both committed crimes against humanity.

Al-Bashir is responsible for the death of his own people in the tens of thousands, all for power and control.

Al-Bush is responsible for hundreds of thousands of Iraqi deaths (according to some reports the figures may over a million) and tens of thousands of Afghanis. He did it for oil in Iraq and to construct a gas pipeline stretching from the former USSR to China.

Both committed heinous crimes and continue to do so.

Al-Bashir has been indicted by the International Criminal Court and rightly so. However, no one has indicted Al-Bush, except for Congressmen Dennis Kucinich and Robert Wexler who have asked for Al-Bush’s impeachment and for him to be charged for his crimes.

Now here is the difference, Al-Bashir is president of one of the poorest countries in the world and hence it is possible that his country will be invaded and he will be arrested, indicted, and hung.

Al-Bush a president of the richest and most powerful country in the world. Al-Bush will leave Whitehouse with all his glory and accolades in tact. He will be given millions of taxpayers money to build his library and a hefty pension, body guards and other perks.

Please tell me, where is the justice?

By the way I understand Al in Arabic means descendant of: one is descendant of Bashirs and other is descendant of Bushes. To me they are branches of the same tree with a similar poisonous and deadly outcome.

George W. Bush's expected reception in China

I am disappointed with my American friends, they are objecting to Bush attending the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics because China has a poor human rights record. Of course, there are many serious human rights violations in China, I would not dispute this point. But the bigger question that must be asked is, what kind of human rights record does George W. Bush have, and shouldn't he be held accountable for it?

Bush lied to Americans, misled them about Iraq so he could carry out an illegal invasion. Now tens of thousands (maybe even hundreds of thousands) of Iraqis are dead, with many more displaced. Four thousand American troops have died in Iraq. All because of this illegal invasion.

Mayhem and murder continues in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Given all this, can Bush preach to the Chinese about human rights when he hardly has a human rights record of his own?

Furthermore, Bush repeatedly disregarded the Constitution of the United States over the course of his Presidency as he ignored the seperation of powers created by the founding fathers. He also disregarded habeus corpus for detainees kept in Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay (apparantely there are also detainees being kept on ships in deplorable conditions).

Dennis Kucinich and Robert Wexler, both members of Congress, have rightly asked that Bush be impeached, citing a record that is nothing short of criminal. I one-hundred percent agree with these members of Congress and I would strongly urge my American friends to take cues from these two individuals and protest against the criminal and mass murderer who calls himself President of the United States.
