It all seems hunky-dory until you notice the US hypocrisy. For example, in 1993 US pushed the UN to establish ICTY (International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia) with countries subjected to it (Yugoslavia) having no say in it. What is interesting is that ICC is based on exactly the same features as ICTY that US is still so eager to support. Yet, when the same international laws are to be applied to US, US is complaining that it wouldn't be fair?! Hypocrisy at its worst.
how about this. if our government systematically slaughters american muslims and buries them in mass, shallow graves and yugoslavian peace keepers come in to bring about peace, i will support the ICC to prosecute americans.
until then, and while our peacekeeping forces across the world stick their necks out are attacked by terrorists that hide among civilians, the UN can shove its resolutions where the sun dont shine.
syria runs the goddamn security council, the heart of the UN. thats like letting mike tyson run a rage-aholics meeting!
I disagree, the law is established for both, good and bad guys. Maybe US did not slaughter American Muslims but that doesn't mean they will not do so in the feature. I mean, I'm a good guy but who knows if in 5 years I will not decide to kill someone, but since today I'm still a good guy should I be above the law? Of course not.
