The ICC - Why the US will not play

[zipkid]

The U.S. would likely become the target of war crimes allegations once an international court is in full swing.

In 1991, the U.S. Commission of Inquiry for the International War Crimes Tribunal released a report on a strip of highway between Kuwait and Iraq where tens of thousands of charred bodies were found. The report stated the U.S. military had bombed the highway for hours despite the fact that many of the people killed were civilians and the Iraqi soldiers killed were withdrawing from Kuwait, which would violate the 1949 Geneva Convention.

Is this why the U.S. will not ratify the Rome Statute?

Despite the U.S., the world has gone ahead with the International Criminal Court.

The Rome Statute came into force on July 1, 2002.

lol i just got that!!

Okay...a few things maybe. I don't agree with him or his information. However, he presents his information, his opinion, and I've never seen him flame or attack another person on any board anywhere even though everyone seems to be against him.

Now, he will never be a martyr, but he did say he'd vote for me for Prez...I hope he keeps that promise. Yeah, he's from Canada even if he's originally from the US , too bad really, but I love him anyway...just not in an anal way
