    I think this is one of the major obstacles the U.S. can\'t seem to grasp, they want it \'all ways\'! They want to call the shots, no International Court to judge any U.S. military for war crimes, just send the money and the troops and we\'ll tell you what to do with them. It\'s their game, their ball, their rules(subject to change on a whim) and then they have the gall to say, \'why don\'t you guys want to play?\'. The rest of the world needs to stand up to the U.S. NOW, or continue to allow world domination played by their rules!

    You have to love the Bushies. They claim to be a democratic, god fearing, law abiding beacon to the world. What a farce when they threaten trade and other sanctions against nations if they do not sign to not hold americans responsible for their actions.

    They have to date forced or otherwise obtained some 50 nations explicit exemptions towards any potential ICC charges.

    You can not claim to be one thing while doing another. Here again they should be called out on their actions.

    Anyone want to bet that the Harper coalition will push to have Canada either out of the ICC or also give exemptions to the US?

    The USA wants to blow up their cake and eat it too! It`s obvious that the US power hawks aren`t interested in making friends!
