Crime Against Humanity

The President of Sudan is reported as being considered for indictment by the International Criminal Court (ICC) based in Den Haag (the Hague, Holland) for his alleged involvement in the current Darfur crisis. But this is still subject to approval by the Security Council of the United Nations Organization. A few days ago, an attempt was made at the Council to slam economic sanctions against Zimbabwe for Robert Mugabe's "mishandling" of the recent local Elections but was turned down when it was double-vetoed by China and Russia. Will this planned indictment be vetoed again by either Russia or China in the Security Council ? To me it will be most likely vetoed by China considering the warm relations enjoyed by Sudan with the former.
But why President Omar al-Bashir is being targetted ? Why not first indict President George W. Bush of the US who has illegally inflicted so much war casualties and destruction in both Iraq and Afghanistan ?
