| 61. I would hope NO US President gets arrested |
|
as it would set a terrible precedent and leave all our Presidents even the good ones, subject to the whims of whatever country they are visiting.
Also I am not in favor of Americans, even Bush being tried in courts outside the US, even international ones.
