Most of this I agree with, but sideying this quote a little:

'The Iraq military campaign had made the world more unstable "than any other conflict in history"'

Same. I agree with everything he's said but that bit of hyperbole will mean his detractors will cling to it to dismiss the good sense he's said

Tutu's right but no one is going make Bush get the indictment he deserves in America when it's tantamount to political suicide on how the GOP are these days.

I do hope it does happen, but I guess we have to settle that it's impossible for him and Cheney to leave the States now.

No lies detected. But it won't happen, because the people who would be responsible for making sure justice happens are the ones who would lose the most if justice was actually happening.

I think Bush is stupid but well meaning. I think Cheney is smart and evil. It's pretty clear he led Bush along by the nose. If I were going choose only one of them to be punished, it would be Cheney.

I agree, but if I were to pick just one of them to be tried, I'd rather it be the evil one.
