The Hague Invasion Act

[Saint Marcus]

We didn't scrap that treaty. Russia did.

you never ratified it either.

Hueij dear fellow, I didn't pull an answer from the air. It's extremly arrogant of YOU to say you can put whomever YOU chose on trial for whatever YOU consider a crime.

In other words, YOUR out of line, not the valid US responce that was delivered in the proposed law.

Neither did Russia, so what's your point?

Funny. That's exactly what you are did in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc, etc, etc.

[faded glory]

So we shouldnt have? Let these guys get bigger and swallow up nations whole and kill more people? Then a few years later when people like you are in danger, you cry to us to come help and the problem is 10 times worse then what it could of been? You think Hussien was going to stop in Kuwait? You think we should lose a few thousand more civilians before we go after Bin Ladin?

I dont understand where your ass-backwards logic comes from Mark.

[Saint Marcus]

It's exactly the same. Bin Laden is a warcriminal. You want him on trial.

So what if American does the same? Deliberatly kill 1000s of civilians. Why shouldn't he be put on trial too? What's the difference?

[faded glory]

Cause we CAN and the rest CANT. That is the way it works. That is the only way it can work. If somebody polices the policeman, the policeman goes on strike and rioting starts duh'.

Who said anything about a trial?

[faded glory]

As for killing a 1000 people. I dont see what your getting at. We dont and havent Deliberatly kill people for the sake of killing of them.

After the bodys were talleyed. Less that 500 people were killed because of US bombs in Afghan cities. Most killed were not even civilians. If we wanted to Deliberatly kill people we would carpet bomb nieghborhoods, not spend 500,000$ per LGB.

Wrong... It's not about who I want to see on trial. It's about a world that's get smaller and smaller by the year... Here we have an instrument that makes it clear that whatever power you may once have had there may come day that you will be held responsible for it. And if the US thinks that it stands above all of our petty ways to try to make the world a better place, well soit... But don't expect that the rest of us will love you for it...

Bush did. Should the "evildoers" be captured alive they'd be brung before a trial.

neiter do the terrorists. it's a political message, to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy in the hope the enemy will surrender, or change it's policies.

Much like the a-bomb being used in Japan twice.

But regardless if it happened or not, the trial is set up for possible future crimes commited. And the USA, like any other country, isn't made up of saints.

Less that 500 people were killed because of US bombs in Afghan cities

And 6000 in Yugoslavia.

But then again, you assume I can US actions in Afghanisatn a warcrime. I'm not (though I'm not ruling out the possibility)

[Saint Marcus]

Cause we CAN and the rest CANT.

with the ICC, we can too.

and it pisses you off tremendously

There's a reason he recinded the self-imposed prohibition on assassination, SM.

[Saint Marcus]

of course he will be killed if it's possible, but Bush knows that if he can get Bin Laden alive, and execute him after a trial, he'll be the biggest hero since WW2.
