Y'see, it's this sort of thing that annoys people, because it always comes to light in the end

This may raise a few eyebrows too.

Article 1 is old, old news. Article 2 is kind of interesting, though I'm a skeptic.

There is a possibility that the rules for eligibility to become the President of the US may change in the future. I think that the rules for become governor were changed to accomodate Arnie, though I'm not 100% sure on that. If he gets ambitious, I don't see why he, or someone else, couldn't pull it off.

Not to mention needing a spare $50m to campaign......

Try 200+. I think I remember a statistic from somewhere that indicates that the candidate with the biggest war chest always wins.

I'm staying dead centre-keel with my opinion on number 2. On one hand, I am inclined to agree that the only way to start to end this mess is for this to happen, on the other hand, these people have also killed Iraqi civilians in their attempts to kill Americans, shouldn't Iraqi law be doing something to find them justice as well? I foresee other, much bigger problems with this later as well, but, like you, I am skeptical as to whether it will happen.
