    The fact that we're only capable of voting for war criminal A vs war criminal B tells me our democracy is a joke.

      Has any US president not committed war crimes?

        None, but now that we know, you'd imagine it would open up new possible and likely candidates who'd promise to do something about it (EDIT: new parties too), unfortunately the average person doesn't seem to care. Compare that with the UK where the Iraq war cost Tony Blair his position. The UK even now (surprisingly) is majorly against their government's support of Israel.

        I was looking up Harrison's presidency as he was only in office for 31 days, but before that, oh you betcha he did some war crimes. Does that count?
