The Christian Science Monitor:

George W. Bush’s appearances this week on NBC, Oprah, and Jay Leno underscore how his memoir "Decision Points" is geared toward an American audience. But the former president is also attracting international attention, with media worldwide focusing on aspects of the book specific to their regions.

For the first time in the history of the United Nations, the entire world body reached agreement on a motion declaring that the world really doesn't give a flying #%46& what George W. Bush does with the rest of his life, so long as he does it in private.

Thousands of our young men and women, has die as a result of his lies, for NOTHING for that I can't forgive him, he must ask God for that. Now President Bush write a book trying to explain his decision when he was in the White House,......to me he a man without a conscience, searching for his soul. His book should be consider fiction not an ounce of truth.

George Bush, a man living a double life.

One life publicly in which he pretends he did what was right while honorably defending the country.

The other is a man hiding behind his own lies, trying not to appear too sheepish from the nations dishonor while knowing his lies have been seen through, and the damage he's caused the world and country can never be undone.

Will the world heal? We hope. Will bush ever be forgotten for his own misdeeds? Not if the world survives the escalation of wars fueled by animosity that will rightly be attributed to him.

Thanks for the link, it shows that other nations do not care too much about Bush. Good for them.

Look who crawled out of his cave! No, the things that you made happen still aren´t legal, even though parts of media try to fuzz the picture. For example waterboarding isn´t "controversial", it´s torture, period. And forget about the supposed only 3 cases of high value prisoners, I´m more interested about the systemic use of brutal treatment throughout the POW- board. But I guess that was just bad apples? Iraq war was the most blatant example in recent times of supreme international crimes, are you proud of that too?

Bush is proud that he doesn't understand his own monumental part in those crimes.

There has got to be some sharp legal minds out there (not in America) who can use this book and the wikileaks papers to put together a real case for a trial for this guy. The Americans don't have the moral honesty to do it - somebody out there will have to bring him to justice. A trial in absentee will be a start.

Maybe there are some people with sharp legal minds here, but they also know, that America is not free anymore, people who tell the truth, will be fired. Survival comes to mind. But overall I agree with your comments.

The world knows he is an admitted war criminal. Anyone have the guts to do anything about it?
