alright, if i am to remember correctly, the us of a recently withdrew military aid from around 50 countries who refused to give US soldiers immunity to an international court or something. this is complete bullshyt! we've arrested people from foriegn countries for years, and now, other people can't arrest us if some soldier decides he's bored and shoots up some iraqi men, or rapes a japanese chick over in osaka, or other weird stuff. see why i'm tired of the us, we're blackmailing the world, to put it bluntly, into following our oh so great way of life. i hate it!

Uhh, not really. The world court ruling and our rejection of it does in no way give any u.s. citizen immunity from crimes committed in another land. This ruling would have people like Tommy Franks and soldiers in bosnia(covering the world's behind again with no thanks) up on charges.

If you want to usher in the NWO, be my guess. We have a country of laws already to guide us. I don't want a world court/judge/executioner in BFE ruling over our soldiers and citizens. If a crime is commited, do the time. but, the idea of a single , world body supplanting our constitution is crap.

we shouldn't push other countries to give us immunity from war crimes like we are, it's wrong, there is no need for a world court. what's moral somewhere isn't moral somewhere else, and people try to push that on others.

just a detail : "hippocracy" literally means "rule of the horses". What a bizarre vision!

But seriously, the US refusal of international jurisprudence shows at the very least that there must be a substantial account of war crimes or crimes against humanity trial opportunities against US citizens that they must really be afraid of.

Actually, submitting to an international tribunal is unconstitutional. But why on Earth would America want to do so anyhow? I see zero benefit in it.

I was going to make the same observation, except about hippopotamuses, or hippopotami.

Blackmail is just one tactic in the arsenal of weapons of mass deception available to the Bush administration.

Yeah, I agree. Or not? Don't you see the plot here?

undoubtably, jurisdiction over all soldiers, world wide.

this is not a good idea, i don't think anybody like it, but it is barely heard about on cnn. i wonder why that is? if the US had the ability to arrest soldiers like that, then they could just as easily arrest them for fighting against the US when they've seen that this would happen.
