Comment on Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses?

Sometimes, sometimes it isn’t. Specifically what would you have charged him with, and what evidence would have convicted him?

Crimes against the peace. The evidence is he started a war in Iraq. It’s not complicated.

  Yes, it is. Merely starting a war isn’t justification for prosecution in the ICC. That’s not how the laws work.
