The reason to indict bush isn't so much to prevent another president from doing the same thing, (could we really stoop to that level of incompetence again???), but rather, when leadership permits and glorifies slaughtering, torturing, oppression, and destruction, it encourages people to engage in those acts in all realms of their lives. There are many humans who enjoy watching death, destruction, and oppression. All they need to move forward with those desires is leadership that condones it. Hence Nazis, ku kux klan, gangs, mafia crime families, us military and cia under bush, taliban, and other sadisticly misguided groups.
