US calls for a Netherlands Invasion Clause

[TCO]

I would take this whole Euro court crap a lot more seriously if its proponents weren't silly people wanting to try Kissinger for fighting the Cold War...

[Saint Marcus]

only countries who have something to hide seem to vote against the court, like China, Sudan, and the USA.

[Saint Marcus]

cause Kissinger is an American?

[TCO]

And only countries that never do anything (and have pathetic peacekeeper forces) spend so mych psychic energy on this type of beaurocratic supranational organization frumpery...

You need to be more sneaky when your camel is sticking its nose under the tent. Talk to Roland. He will explain how to go about this. If the pupose of this court is publicly stated to be anti-American or anti-conservative-American foreign policy you will get nowhere. Better policy: downplay this aspect until you get what you want. Then pull the "switcheroo"!

One can fight the cold war without committing war crimes. Bombing Cambodia was a war crime. Bombing Laos was a war crime. Plotting the coup in Chile was a crime against humanity. Giving the ookay to Indoensia to invade East Timor was a crime against humanity. Check out Christopher Hitchens', The Trial of Henry Kissinger. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever for overthrowing sovreign democratic states.

And because the US is protecting scum like that, we need an International Court to bring the bastards responsable to justice.

"we'll deal with them ourselves". My ass.

Can't wait on the day the first American will appear before the court.

Che, we bombed Cambodia because of the Hochi Minh trail. Not because of wanting to kill civilians. It was a military target. Just like in North Vietnam. You may not agree with the decision to do so. But it is not a war crime. It was a decision.

Half a million people died from the bombing of Cambodea. That wasn't just from bombing the Trail. When you kill half a million civilians in a military operation, it's a war crime.

"Helms."

The congress can't tell the President to take military action, silly.
