While the historical discussion re: how we’ve allowed some political elites to escape retribution for their illegal transgressions, that does not bind us to the notion that we cannot change things and start to hold the powerful accountable. A famous jurist (Oliver Wendell Holmes) once said: “A page of history is worth a pound of logic.” Sometime we need to have our focus jarred by historical wrong doings, before we change the law or start enforcing one. Let this conflict be the catalyst for change. Let’s put all leaders on notice: “that might is no longer right.” And, from now going forward , the whole world will use its peaceful means to disempower aggressors. Together we can incentivize peace and harmony & disempower hate & war.

You need to watch more Clint Eastwood movies. Or maybe Charles Bronson. Or Billie Jack.
The "Marvel Universe" doesn't exist. There are no selfless super-heroes to save us.
America's "leaders" are unassailable. Every President since Reagan has pissed on "The Law" but now, Trump has laid bare the uselessness of "The Law".
Rather than WWJD, we should be wondering WWCD.
Please don't forget Iran-Contra under the Reagan administration. Dirty hands there too.
Sadly sir, not until peace and harmony can bring great profits.
