[Vision2020] Spanish Court Considering Arrest Warrants for

[Sunil Ramalingam]

If such a thing were to happen, our leaders would likely be tried for violations of our laws.  Therefore your concerns # 3 and 4 wouldn't apply. #1and 5 would be irrelevant as long as our leaders were proceeding lawfully. As for 6, the rest of us who abide by the law do so despite the inconvenience.

It would be a very bad idea to put OUR leaders up for trial in a Kangaroo World Court for several reasons.
 
1) Our leaders are elected to do things that are something bad for other countries. 
2) Our leaders hold national security information that could be exhorted from them
3) It allows other nations to determine what values and beliefs we should hold
4) It allows others to establish laws higher than US laws, which we do not have input into
5) Our elected leaders would be pressured to do what is best for other nations over ours out of fear of punishment.
6) It would inconvenience our leaders from doing their jobs if they could be kidnapped and moved to another country.
 
I suggest instead, we try our own leaders and allow other countries to do that same. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

Mr. Price -

The only "police force" that I feel has it within their jurisdiction would 
be Interpol.

Perhaps a group of nations could file charges with Interpol against George 
Bush.

How would you foresee these nations proceeding against Bush?
