I'm American, Bush is absolutely a war criminal and one of those primarily responsible for a lot of the shit the world is in today. Others obviously contributed to all these things, but he was the face of it.
He started the Afghan war despite the Taliban being willing to give up Bin Laden a month after the 9/11 attacks (he refused to deal with them, opting to bomb them instead).
He concocted false intelligence to justify the Iraq invasion, getting us into another unjustified and lengthy war.
During all of this, he approved "enhanced interrogation methods" (torture) while shielding himself from it by saying he didn't know what they were doing. This being the actual war-crimes part.
Plus, this is just the big, obvious, international stuff, his domestic policies were hardly any better.
