12670196, Pardoning a head of state is a lot different from pardoning...Marky Walberg Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Dec-09-14 11:32 AM
The reason Obama may pardon GWB is the same reason Nelson Mandela promoted National reconciliation instead of looking to imprison the architects of Apartheid.
The same reason Nouri al-Maliki should have been more inclusive of Suuni leadership, when he governed Iraq.
That is the viability of a nation depends on it. BHO seeking criminal charges against GWB would be disastrous for the country and could very well legitimately lead to civil war.
As a head of state BHO is the one person who has the power to make the call that the good of the country is better served by acknowledging their crimes and pardoning them for it.
I don't think the country of the international community is better served by rejecting international criminal law.
