Eliot Spitzer Vs. GW Bush

Eliot Spitzer was surely guilty of very poor judgment - indeed, he couldn't have made a worst call than his decision to use those prostitutes' services.

He surely betrayed his wife and his children (and the citizens of New York) when he patronized those prostitutes.

But did he steal money from anyone to pay for his prostitutes? Did he use public monies for his sordid pleasures?

Did Eliot Spitzer rape anyone?

Did Eliot Spitzer kill anyone?

Or cause the death of 4000 US soldiers, 600,000 Iraqis?

-- GW Bush took the greatest of pleasure, you will recall, in sending over 150 people to the death chamber while he was Governor of Texas. Remember his sneering at Karla Faye Tucker when she begged him for mercy?

His pleasure from having caused this huge toll of human lives in Afghanistan and Iraq must be utterly excruciating. He must have got some real good pleasure from the tortures inflicted at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. He has certainly been justifying all the tortures of those who he/his forces have been able to capture and put to the test.

Did Eliot Spitzer tell lies to US citizens to justify his chasing after prostitutes?

-- On the contrary, he seemed to have come clean straightaway, apologizing for having betrayed the trust that was reposed in him.

Did Eliot Spitzer claim that Jesus had told him to cohabit with prostitutes?

-- GW Bush did claim (and probably still does claim) that Jesus told him to 'do Iraq'.

Did Eliot Spitzer tell lies to the US Congress to get funding for guilty pleasures with Kristen?

Did he waste $ 500 billion of public funds to pleasure his penis?

Has he cost the US $ 2-3 TRILLION to further his pursuit of prostitutes?

Has he brought the world to the brink of disaster by his poor judgement?

-- GW Bush has done precisely all of that in pursuit of whatever joy the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars have brought him.

Surely Eliot Spitzer deserves to be severely punished for his poor judgement - he will be punished. If he has broken laws, then punishments are due for that too.

Eliot Spitzer has destroyed himself. GW Bush has destroyed nations, perhaps this world of ours as well.

My question:

So when will US citizens (and the rest of the world) decide to punish this war criminal GW Bush and his Gang for their real and monstrous war crimes?
