Let's Trade War Criminals

Here's an idea to avert the coming war ­ let's trade war criminals! We want the war criminal Osama bin Laden. Okay, fine. Let's trade him for one of our war criminals.

How about Bill Clinton? Clinton spent eight years bombing the hell out of Iraq. Along with our sanctions against that country, the death toll has been estimated to be 750,00 to 1.4 million, many of them children and babies. As an added bonus, we can throw in his attack on Serbia, which was only to draw attention away from Monica Lewinsky. If that doesn't make him a mass murderer, then what does? What does he have to do? Make it 12 million, like the Nazis?

Besides, we should be happy to get rid of him. We should be embarrassed that we actually elected a psychopathic white trash serial rapist as President. Twice.

We can even sweeten the deal. Let's make it two for one. They give us bin Laden ­ we give them Clinton and the grotesque and possibly non-human Madeleine Albright. After all, she did say all those deaths in Iraq were "worth it." Besides, she makes Ayn Rand look like Cindy Crawford. Then, once we have bin Laden, we can put him on trial for terrorism and killing a little over 5,000 people. Once Aghanistan has Clinton and Albright, they can put both on trial for the genocide of over a million people.. (I guess Clinton, in his defense, can say, "It depends on what you mean by the word, 'kill.'")

Oh, hell, while we're at it, let's give them Janet Reno (Maybe she and Albright can share a cell). While terrorists were busy spending years planning on flying airplanes into skyscrapers, Reno was busy sending an innocent boy back to Cuba at gunpoint, shooting teenage boys in the back and women in the head at Ruby Ridge, and immolating men, women, children and babies at Waco. (And oddly, all were Christians...)

Hmmm...anyone else we can send over there? Hey, how about Robert McNamara? One of the architects of Vietnam. It shouldn't be too hard to find him: just follow the stink of Brylcreem. And, of course, we have to include Henry Kissinger.

Too bad we don't have a time machine. We could go back, pluck all our war criminals, and have them tried. How about Richard Nixon, LBJ, JFK, Truman, FDR, Woodrow Wilson, and Abe Lincoln?

It's fun fantasizing, so let's stick with the present. Clinton and Albright for bin Laden. Let's sweeten the deal even more. We could throw in some of our military commanders. I wonder what defense they could offer? "We were only following orders"? Some Germans and Japanese dangled from a rope for that one.

I think maybe we could easily cough up a dozen or so modern-day American war criminals.

If we could at least have them put on trial, then maybe those countries in the world who hate us for our arrogance and blindness might have some of their bloodlust assuaged.

After all, everyone wants justice. Don't we?
