Former U.S. President George W. Bush has cancelled a visit to Switzerland over fears he could have been arrested on torture charges.
Mr Bush was due to be the keynote speaker at a Jewish charity gala in Geneva on February 12.
But pressure has been building on the Swiss government to arrest him and open a criminal investigation if he enters the country.
Criminal complaints against Mr Bush alleging torture have been lodged in Geneva, court officials said.

It's sad that people feel that way about him. I personally like the man and feel that he was a decent, no I'd say a good president. I'm not saying he was the best or perfect, just good for me. That would be an awkward situation to be placed in and not good for the U.S.. I'm not going to get into the complexity of torture here but I think what he did was right.

It may be true about him but you gotta realize nobody care for or admire Mr. Bush because... well, everyone really hate him. Everyone.

Switzerland is famous for helping all kinds of people hide gold and money. They don''t discriminate based on political leanings. "Have cash, we'll help stash"" is their motto.

Everyone? Did you take a poll of everyone?

Hate is a very strong word.

I doubt very much that "everyone" hates him.

Lock him up and throw away the key.


BTW, Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, had his dirty little hands all over Nazi money and helped the Nazi rise to power. The family is still rolling around in that dough.

And HERE IS MY SOURCE: How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power | World news | The Guardian

TWA

Why is it sad? This guy has more illegitimate blood on his hands than any other American president since LBJ. What is sad is that there are people who will forget about the atrocious crimes (the full scope of which has yet to be revealed) this man and his cronies perpetuated against humanity just because they find him to be a "likeable" guy.

Trust me, bush will go down as one of the worst presidents ever. History will not be kind to him.

Reba

A zero rating?

Does that mean everyone hates him?

TWA

Any phrase that starts with "everyone hates . . ." is a dogmatic construction and usually a fallacy. It should be apparent that it can't be taken at face value. At the same time, it still implies that there is a very strong dislike for the Bush. He is still very very unpopular in the world, and even here in America. This is an undeniable reality. I'm fairly certain you understood this, but you just want to quibble over semantics.

Reba

I just want to point out that it's obvious not everyone hates Bush. Not even close.

Jiro

it's not meant to be taken too literally...

TWA

Define "close." 99%? 90% 85%?

Although that's probably a moot point because I'm going to have to agree with you, and here's why: a majority of the world's population is most likely ignorant on all issues pertaining to George Bush. Many probably do not even know he exists or what his role on the world stage was. So, if we are including the ignorant, you're very much correct.

However, if we make it an "out of eligible voters" sort of thing, then I'd have to wager that an overwhelming majority of people in the world that keep abreast of such matters would be found to despise Bush. There is of course no way to really gather or tabulate this information, but I would wager it hovers in the 80% range.

Grummer

I agree with TWA!! it would hover over 80% easy....even 75% is abit 'low' for probable counts

Calm down. Yes, you're correct about not all people hate him. Still, Bush is very unlikable person, so I merely pointed out that most people despise him for many reasons. It is BIG majority... I am sure some people want to see him be gone...

For your information, I don't hate him. I give him some credits for some good causes. I actually agree with airportcop on this one.

speak for yourself.

Whenever the name, President Bush is mentioned, I'm reminded of the Massage 'n' Run incident.

airportcop

I have a strong dislike for our current president. Seeing his face or hearing his voice makes me ill or angry. He will without a doubt go down in history in my book as the worst president ever!

Obama had the potential to be a great president. Given his situation, and all the garbage bBush scrapped of his plate for him to deal with, Obama will never be seen as a great president. Especially with some of the recent events i have some serious distrust in Obamas plans for the us.

Anyone who is saying Bush has a big heart should strongly think about what he did for the states. Making a few appearances at charity events does not make a theif and a murderer have a big heart all of a sudden. To be honest the guy was kind of a moron in my opinion
