Those that worship folks with those limited capacities because of their office, or their dreamy smile simply don't understand why those of us that are fully functioning human beings with a normal capacity for morality and empathy may consider war crimes and torture heinous offenses that should be punished as the prosecutable international crimes that they in fact are.
They think we are making a big deal out of nothing, they have fallen to amorality.
