Absolutely.

But American politicians and media personalities not only got away with lying that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, they were rewarded for it, some monetarily (Dick Cheney, Dianne Feinstein, I'm looking at you among many, many others)

Brian Williams and Soledad O'Brian (along with almost every prominent journalist of the time) were war propagandists and now pretend to be on the Left.

And then we have the Shrub himself, George Dubya Bush, who has been reinvented as the cute, harmless, drunk uncle when his actions led to the death, dismemberment and displacement of tens of millions of innocent people. Not that Obama was a slouch in the killing innocents department...

So while I think what you're asking for should happen in a just and moral world, I doubt that it will, because the world is neither just nor moral.
