The idea of the US joining the court but being exempted was started during the Clinton years. I prefer the current stance, it's wrong, period. It is wrong for everyone, but we are watching most of Europe give away their sovereignty daily to the EU now, so why would it hurt them? I mean look at the cases already being brought against US soldiers and politicians in the EU (Belgium maybe?). They have a law that allows people to prosecute "war criminals", well now general franks and the president are already being charged, as is the local politician that started the idea.
Yeah sounds really smart.

My questions is, why exempt the US? If it is that wrong, it is that wrong for everyone. Or perhaps there need to be safeguards (for everyone). I think there was a consensus that whats his name needed to be tried for what happened in Bosnia... what we are saying right now is we can do this kinda stuff and not be punished. Makes it sound like we plan to do this kinda stuff if you ask me.
