I don't think anyone was being 'mental' about it. I think I started this off by saying it bothered me (saw it on the news) when the crowd booed Bush at a baseball game, and explained the difference in my mind between the man and the office. Others said they would boo the man.
Paul Dirks expressed what I feel about it, perfectly, in his comment.
To put a slightly different spin on it: it would also bother me to see a former president of the United States in the dock at the Hague. It would be a shameful articulation of what had been done to the office, and our country. That does not mean I wouldn't argue for it, write op-eds in favor of it, or deliver the indictment personally, in the interests of justice.
