it must be confusing to be

a milosevic or a saddam. what can they do but maintain that they remain (until, er, death) the president? christ when they did all this shit they had impunity. by definition they cannot be held responsible now. indeed, the basic functions of government, such as taxation or imprisoning people (much less invading countries or ordering airstrikes and stuff), would be crimes if anyone other than the authorized agents did them, and political power is definable as impunity (of varying degrees and over varying subject-matters). dude: you are trying a judge for having condemned people to die. this could make judges nervous. the world is certainly topsy-turvy when the law is a crime. on the other hand you might let this teach a little something about...law.
