George Bush Cancels Europe Trip Amid Calls for His Arrest | Will George W. Bush set foot in Europe again in his lifetime?
Perhaps the coming months will finally realize a long-discussed mass arrest scenario. To be sure, there is a lawful basis for such a thing, but enforcing an arrest order against tyrants always requires consent of the people in some capacity. With more of humanity waking up to these realities, it seems it's only a matter of time before arrests occur.

Will George W. Bush set foot in Europe again in his lifetime?
A planned trip by Bush to speak at the Switzerland-based United Israel
Appeal later this week has been canceled after several human rights
groups called for Swiss authorities to arrest Bush and investigate him
for authorizing torture.
Bush has traveled widely since leaving office, but not to Europe, where
there is a strong tradition of international prosecutions.
The Swiss group and Bush’s spokesman claim that it was threats of
protest, not of legal action, that prompted the cancellation. But facing
protests is nothing new for Bush.
What was different about this trip was that groups including Amnesty
International and the Center for Constitutional Rights argued that
Switzerland, as a party to the UN Convention against Torture, is
obligated to investigate Bush for potential prosecution.
Amnesty’s memo to Swiss authorities cites, among other things, Bush’s
admission in his own memoir that he approved the use of waterboarding.
From Amnesty’s press release:
“To date, we’ve seen a handful of military investigations into detentions and interrogations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo. But none of these has had the independence and reach necessary to investigate high-level officials such as President Bush,” said Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International.
“Meanwhile, there has been virtually zero accountability for crimes committed in the CIA’s secret detention program, which was authorized by then-President Bush.”
Anywhere in the world that he travels, President Bush could face
investigation and potential prosecution for his responsibility for
torture and other crimes in international law, particularly in any of
the 147 countries that are party to the UN Convention against Torture.
“As the US authorities have, so far, failed to bring President Bush to justice, the international community must step in,” said Salil Shetty.
