DYING REGIME
White House,Pentagon, State Department, FBI, CIA, etc. may have differences of style, but all of them have the same and well defined and known objective: the defense of the economic and geopolitical interests of its Global Elite. It is not a matter of a president: fat, skinny, dumb or bright, black or white. It is a matter of a system. The capitalist system in its higher level: Imperialism.DYING REGIME

That pesky Chomsky doesn’t mince words…
"If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged." - Noam Chomsky
Either does Paul Craig Roberts. Craig was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration. He was Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Contributing Editor of National Review.
I'll leave him do the talking...
Why do the American people and “their” representatives in Congress continue to tolerate a criminal Bush Regime that uses lies and propaganda to mask its acts of naked aggression, war crimes under the Nuremberg standard?
Why does the rest of the world continue to receive political representatives from a war criminal government?
REALLY… DEFINE ?
The illegal use of napalm and other chemical weapons
CHECK!
Intentionally torturing and abusing detainees
CHECK!
Blocking aid convoys
CHECK!
Killing unarmed civilians, including shooting into family homes
CHECK!
Western leaders are also guilty of many other violations of the Geneva Convention, the Charter of the United Nations, the Nuremberg Charter, International Law and the Constitution of the United States, including crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.
CHECK!
Be more specific !

He was often described has Hitlers right hand man and at the Nuremberg trials he began to crack under the strain of what he had done and what was happening to him. Ironically, the only journalist allowed any access to the Nazi's on trial was a jewish journalist by the name Gustaf Gilbert. These words were taken from Gilbert's notes, Goring did not offer them whilst on trial. He pleaded guilty to his charges and was sentenced to death by hanging but he killed himself before the sentence could be carried out using cyanide capsules smuggled in by a companion
"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood.
