No, I don't think so. Not anymore than any other court would be "destroyed" when it simply failed to convict a criminal. There is plenty of evidence to compell a case and them not trying it would be worse for their already bad reputation of caving under pressure.
In fact, to argue the polar opposite, I think they'd gain quite a bit of "punch" back to their authority if they tried Bushco and won. The gamble is clearly on their side. If they lose, then they're back to the same old reputation they already had. Should they convict, and there's evidence in spades to get that done, they'll regain some real potency in the eyes of the world...and respect too.
Bushco, if convicted, could not travel abroad except in countries not linked to Interpol. If caught by Interpol, they could be detained or even imprisoned abroad.
You are making a case for men who are up to their eyebrows in murderous and treasonous culpability to slide right off the hook...not even addressing nor caring how this would affect American citizens already ducking the brunt of world scorn..and needing that same world to lend us credit for a mess that Bushco's astronomically expensive illegal war has put us directly in.. Not very patriotic of you pal. The Country doesn't exist for its President. The President exists for country.
And I'll bet you're one of the ones who stood in the front of the line ready to stone Clinton for the Lewinsky affair...oh, the irony...
