W Under "House Arrest"

Former US presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton have become quasi-official ambassadors for a variety of causes since they left the confines of the Oval Office. Both jet around the globe. But not George W. Bush. It's not that he isn't interested, it's more that he is unsure what might await him upon touching down in numerous nations, particularly in Europe.

A planned trip by Bush to speak at the Switzerland-based United Israel Appeal later this week has been canceled after several human rights groups called for Swiss authorities to arrest Bush and investigate him for authorizing torture...

Ouch! That's gotta hurt!! He has gone from being viewed as the most powerful leader in the "free" world to a potential arrestee in scores of countries.

I'm guessing that isn't the sort of legacy he was aiming for.
