That’s “US House of Representatives”. US. United States, as in where we live. Or at least where I live.

Randpost — this is not the US bringing genocide charges, it’s his OWN PARLIAMENT.

Bush should be the one to get hanged for his deaths of Iraq civilians.

But why quibble over semantics- if you look at the text of the speech, Ahmadinejad is using a phrase also applied to the Iranian revolution of 1979, and he is clearly not going to call for a genocide of his own country. And while we’re at it, why don’t we charge:

Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for forced deportation, a crime against humanity under UN law, for his quote, “Everyone there should move, should run, should grab more hills, expand the territory. Everything that’s grabbed, will be in our hands. Everything we don’t grab will be in their hands.”.

Vice Premier Shimon for genocide, for his quote, ““the president of Iran should remember that Iran can also be wiped off the map.””

Former Congressman Tom Delay for treason and conspiracy against the federal government for his quote, “I AM the federal government!”

Emperor George Bush the Second as an accomplice to the murder of three thousand US troops, for his infamous quote, “My answer is bring them on.”

Union general William T. Sherman for incitement to mass murder, for his condemnation, “If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.”

Some random guy on the Internet for conspiracy to kill the President, for his statement, “I am trying to without digging it out.”

I’m reminded of a cartoon- “You’re all getting detention for bad things I think you might do!”
