There are bad people from all groups and all walks of life, regardless of which group you turn to. Yes, Bush did a horrible thing by going to war without a justifiable cause. But the man before him, Clinton, also did a horrible thing by cheating on his wife, sexually harassing/borderline raping other women, and then repeatedly lying about it under oath to the whole country. One Republican, one Democrat. You'll find similar examples, regardless of what group of people you look into.
Apples and oranges. Both may have sinned in the eyes of your church but only one of them did anything which should concern a secular government or its justice system. Oddly, only the one who did not cost us thousands of lives lost on our side and many more on the other as well as billions of dollars was prosecuted. The other one remains at large.
