If I was in office, and the military of which I was Commander in Chief captured a man who was responsible for war crimes and human rights atrocities, and that man was holding a weapon, a symbol of the violent acts that he committed, I would proudly hang that weapon on my wall as a reminder of why I was doing my job, to protect those people who would have died had I not taken action. To do otherwise would be an insult to those who captured an evil dictator and presented me with this tropy and reminder of why we are there.
The point at which I may differ from Bush is that after leaving office, I would present the pistol to either the Smithsonian or an Iraqi museum, where it would belong.
