We believe there will be an anti-American bias that will find excuses to go after Americans for political reasons, or just because of prejudice. The ICC will never go after Comrade Fidel Castro for his political prisons, torture chambers, murderous attempts to subvert other governments and executions of dissidents. He's a Communist and an enemy of the USA so he will get a pass. For Europeans, I repeat: get ready to pay higher taxes for providing your own miltary umbrella -- or learn to live without some of your socialistic welfare schemes. You've lived off of the US taxpayer and depended on US military personnel for a long time. You want our people to risk being prosecuted for unintentional casualties or trumped up lies? Why should we? An example is in the news rigt now. Some Afghans are claiming that a US AC-130 gunship killed 40 members of a wedding party. Invetigators on the scene have asked to see the bodies or the burial ground. No one can point to any. Or even to any blood inthe building where the deaths supposedly occurred. This story, without any evidence, just the words of people in a part of Afghanistan that was the stronghold of the Taliban where the people remain sympathtic to the Talban. Sooner or later there'll be an attempt to prosecute an American in an incident of this kind. I hope we declare war on any nation that has any part in circumventing reasonable legal procedures and ignoring US sovereignty to kidnap an American and subject him to this lawless kangaroo court. ___________________________________________________________ Check out http://clik.to/sf for other lists to join.
