Even if Clinton is guilty of what GWB is now doing. (1) Its a matter of degree, what Clinton did rarely and under strict personal control GWB does routinely and in an out of control manner.
(2) Harvey has already said he would favor the trial of anyone doing this sort of treasonous activity and alchemize is using Clinton as a deflection and saying only Clinton should be prosecuted.
Its not hard to figure out which holds the moral high ground.
To clarify what I mean, in the debate between Harvey and alchemize, its clear which poster holds the moral high ground. While both Clinton and Bush may be guilty of various forms of international war crimes, no one suggests either Harvey or alchemise are involved in any way.
But as a lesser crime, dishonest argument and double standards are what lead to the justification of larger crimes. And if we as a people permit our leaders to engage in criminal actions, then we are in a sense, involved in the commission of those crimes.
And in fact after WW2, a number of people were hanged by the neck until dead dead dead, not for what they personally did, or even directly ordered, but for what they failed to stop when they were provably told of the crimes of their subordinates who then went on to continue to commit more war crimes. The Geneva convention is quite clear on this subject that both are equally guilty. And the same principles are in our laws also.
