Should the world be subject to US law?

Don't act too confused. By allowing torture, Bush broke several international laws.

For those in favor of the US being able to get people extradited for actions outside their borders, if another country applied for extradition of Bush (not what happened in this case), would you favor the US sending him to stand trial?

I am confused - can't seem to find any updates on this?

"The Obama administration will continue the Bush administration’s practice of sending terrorism suspects to third countries for detention and interrogation, but pledges to closely monitor their treatment to ensure that they are not tortured, administration officials said Monday."

Are you aware of any published reports on the monitoring (since Feb 2009) - to ensure against torture under Obama?

What does that have to do with Bush? If Obama is continuing to use torture, then he should be held accountable as well.

What did your post have to do with the world being subject to US law?

The US will act in it's best interests to protect against attacks - as will China and Russia. If anyone wants to bring charges against a US President (past or present) they better carry a very large stick.
