regarding the International Crimminal Court allows for prosecution of war crimes committed from 2002 onward. The seven countries that voted against the treaty were Iraq, Israel, Libya, the People's Republic of China, Qatar, the United States, and Yemen. Lovely company we are in.
One of Obama's first priorities should be to make the U.S. a signatory to this treaty.
A commission to study the relevant evidence and pass it on to the ICC would be in order.
Didn't Rumsfeld narrowly escape detention in Paris last year? Even Kissinger has not been held accountable for his being an accessory to war crimes - wars of aggression, genocide (Indonesia), torture (Chile), etc.
Would that the civilized world would at least shun all these war crimminals instead of giving them honoraria on the lecture circuits.
