In today's world, the United States is the preeminent superpower and has no rival, or series of rivals, whatsoever. Further to the point, the United States, alone amongst all the civilized nations of this world, places itself consistently above international law and thereby above international treaties and agreements that apparently do not ever apply adversely against the United States, but are so applied to other nations. Imagine though, an alternate universe or perhaps a parallel world, in which some sort of substance such as kryptonite is utilized against the United States, in which thereby none of its mighty weapons of war are capable of being fired or utilized, whatsoever; and subsequently the United States as a sovereign nation, must surrender to those forces that have the use of that kryptonite.
So then, inside this power vacuum, a consortium of countries get together to decide what to do about this situation in regards to the United States. These countries, consisting of China, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Venezuela, and Cuba recognize that there is very little value in destroying the United States, but rather are cognizant of its great worth, and thereby decide that the best and fairest policy is to have a trial, specifically, dealing with the war crimes of the United States since World War II, addressing in particular, those individuals that are the alleged war criminal perpetrators.
The trial is thereupon known as the Washington DC War Crimes Trial and it is held within the Supreme Court building of that city. Warrants for the arrest of specific military personnel of the highest level, are issued, as well as being issued for the heads of various governmental departments, such as the CIA, Homeland Security, National Security Agency and the like; in addition, warrants for the Secretary of the Defense, and the Secretary of the State, former and active are issued, and finally warrants are issued for the President, former and active. The sheer amount of names so charged, is enormous, and the consortium of countries, prosecuting such, are diligent in the adding or subtracting of such names as actionable or mitigating information comes to their attention. Additionally, in the knowledge that justice delayed is justice denied, this consortium of countries eventually reaches the point, in which the trial must begin. And in fairness to those so accused, each is entitled to legal counsel in order to fairly answer the charges each is accused of.
The theme of the Washington DC War Crimes Trial becomes obvious from the very start, which is that certain specific people within the United States must be held accountable for their war crimes as well as crimes against humanity. Those crimes cover such areas as the deliberate and premeditated bombing of civilian populations, the extraordinary rendition of persons from their native country, the torture of prisoners, the rape of civilians, the murder of civilians under the guise of combat, and so and so forth. In fact, the opening statement by the lead prosecution attorney, hauntingly echoes the exact same words used by the lead prosecutor Robert H. Jackson at the Nuremberg trial, of which Jackson said "The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish, have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated;" in which the lead prosecutor at the Washington DC War Crimes Trial adds to those words, "Yet, they have been repeated, and repeated by a great nation, that knew what was right but deliberately did that which was wrong, because it believed it would never be held accountable; of which it is our sacred duty to thereby hold those bad actors accountable, so that all of humanity can progress to becoming fully civilized, fair, and with the sure knowledge that mankind's good laws apply equally to all."
At the conclusion of that trial, most were convicted, though some were acquitted; and of those that were found guilty, most were hung, though some were not.
