Evading your responsibilities ?

Mostly harmless
I don't think it is Border Reiver's responsibility to prosecute these alleged crimes.

Shouldn't this thread be moved to the humor section?

That is avoiding the question .
How would you arrange a fair trial for both Assange and the two women?

Still a false dichotomy, the lack of charges against GWB does not means that Assange is not the subject of a report of sexual assault.

How can Assange be extradited, what charges does he face in the US?
What did GWB do to any citizen of Sweden?

I have practice with trying to get my daughter to do her homework.
"Did you read your book?"
"Yes"
"What was the story?"
"It was a piece of right wingish propaganda"
"But did you understand what the story was?"
She's only 8. It's excusable at that age.
You are sadly misinformed if you take the New Statesman or Jack of Kent as right wing.

Hardly.
I raise three boys, one of which is ASD, with my wife.
I work 5 days a week as a paralegal.
I serve as a Master Warrant Officer in the Primary Reserves as a Battery Sergeant Major.
I stay informed about local, national and international events.
And since I don't think that the invasion of Iraq was a war crime, why would I try to charge GWB?

Why are we presuming these women were lying?
Why are we presuming that any trial against GWB would not be politically motivated but that a trial against Assange would be?

Everyone has a family, work and his own problems.
What makes you different
Call it "war crime" or "atrocity", if you are not aginst it, you are whitewashing it, and therefore.. (I will not talk as the Masters will accuse me of personalizing)
It happens that kids outsmart their parents sometimes..
You are sadly misinformed if you that High-profile QC Julian Burnside knows nothing about the Assange prosecution
This is where you are wrong.
If someone does not protest or does anything, he becomes guilty
How would you arrange the world in order for wars not to happen?
Work for a fair system
Everyone has his responsibilities..
?
How can the US keep people in Guantanamo without a trial

M: Oh look, this isn't an argument.
A: Yes it is.
M: No it isn't. It's just contradiction.
A: No it isn't.
M: It is!
A: It is not.
M: Look, you just contradicted me.
A: I did not.
M: Oh you did!!
A: No, no, no.
M: You did just then.
A: Nonsense!
M: Oh, this is futile!
A: No it isn't.
M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
A: Yes it is!
M: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.

Nothing. Which is one reason why people generally don't rally against something half a world away from them - their problems and the problems of those people closest to them are more urgent, more real and thus far more important.
Protip - if I don't think that it was a war crime - for me - there is nothing to whitewash. Whitewashing is something you do if you an activity is wrong and you want it to appear good.
Still they find time to watch stupid shows on TV
Which is exactly what you are saying.
Invading Iraq was a crime (i.e. illegal under the UN law as you need to pass thoguth the UNSC to enforce sanctions) but you say it wasnt.
Therefore, whitewashing.

Speaking of which -Mythbusters is on.
So the UN resolutions that were acted on didn't go through the Security Counsel? Where were the diplomatic sanctions, etc from the rest of the UN? I guess then that the rest of the world doesn't feel that this was a crime that required sanctions.
You need to enforce them through the UNSC
