George W. bUsh declares himself a war criminal

''clearly understand that if they take innocent life, if they destroy infrastructure, they will be held to account as war criminals.''

3. He can never quite say "kill people", can he? Always the twice-removed oddly passive "loss of life"

phrasing, as if "life" were merely another object we possess.

4. Name OUR 28

Japanese war leaders were held accountable, charged under The Potsdam declaration of July 1945, arrested and tried as 'those who had "deceived and misled" the Japanese people into war.'

Twenty-eight high-ranking political and military leaders were indicted on 55 counts of "crimes against peace, conventional war crimes, and crimes against humanity."

"Class A" charges alleging "crimes against peace" were to be brought against Japan's top leaders who had planned and directed the war. Class B and C charges, which could be leveled at Japanese of any rank, covered "conventional war crimes" and "crimes against humanity," respectively.

Seven were executed, sixteen sentenced to life terms, two to lesser terms, two had died, and one was found insane.
