Vincent Bugliosi: The Prosecution Of George W. Bush For Murder
On March 20, 2003, the
second Iraq War began under the orders of George W. Bush, the 43rd president of
the United States. In spite of objections both at home and abroad, the Bush

for its connections to al-Qaeda and its possession of weapons of mass
destruction. In the five years since, these claims have largely proved false;
no WMD have been found on Iraq soil, and the terrorist ties had more to do with
exploiting American fears than any real danger. But while Bush's approval
rating continues to plummet, there don't seem to be any tangible consequences
for his actions, or any organized call for inquiry.
