CLEVELAND - No country appears willing to take in accused Nazi John Demjanjuk, so the United States may well be stuck with him.

The government has fought for 30 years to deport the 87-year-old retired autoworker, who lives in Seven Hills, Ohio. Federal judges have determined that he persecuted Jews as a Nazi guard, and Demjanjuk has nearly exhausted all appeals.

The United States can't deport him, however, unless another country takes him in, and no country will accept him, say his family and attorney.

If Demjanjuk lost all appeals and remained in the United States, he would be considered a stateless alien and would lose his Social Security benefits.

Amazing how some things just keep biting us in the butt for long afterwards. I wonder how long the shadow of Iraq will hang over us, and vice-versa.

1. At this point either shoot him or leave him alone.

Either hold him to account for his fucking misdeeds or just let him get away with them due to advanced age and the like. Shit or get off the pot.

2. It appears that an ex-Nazi's welcome in this country depends upon his/her

usefulness. If you're a generic run-of-the-mill variety, you're out. If you develop rockets, then red carpet treatment.

3. My first thought too, Too bad for him that he wasn't a rocket scientist instead of an auto-worker.

4. Germany should take him in.

He is of their making.

5. Won't a South American country like Parquay or Chile take him?

6. I'm sure that Israel would take him
