Investigation time

The pessimist over at the Left Coaster says the following:

Not long ago, Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was electorily defeated and was forced to concede (such as it was) defeat, opening the way for victor Romano Prodi to not only take over the government, but to initiate criminal ivestigations of the charges levelled against Berlusconi while in office. prosecution was postponed due to an immunity law passed expressly for his protection...

These laws were later overturned, so it took strenuous effort by Forza Italia members to keep their leader out of the dock.

But with the change in government, likely fomented in part because Italians of all stripes were tired of Silvio's corruption and blocked his attempts to maintain power, he has nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Justice will be served. Cold.

Now, it looks like it's Tony Blair's turn.

Let's hope this disease crosses the Atlantic.

I have day dreams of a massive war crimes trial in someplace like Nuremburg, where Bush, Blair, Cheney, Berlusconi, Howard, and others are tried, convicted, and sentenced to death by stoning. Unfortunately, I am basically opposed to the death penalty, so it's just a day dream.
