    Maybe the UN will get a lot more done without the spoilt rich kid who never stops throwing spanners in the works.

    Let America stew in its own juices.

      Nothing wishy-washy about it. The internationalist agencies have a pathetic record. Last thing I want is more make-work jobs for these hucksters...

          This is just the usual carrot and stick approach. What good is the objection to the World Court if there is nothing to back it up? I used to spy on the Russians in a submarine. I would hate to think that we were all subject to the world court if there had been an incident.

          It is really too soon to tell what Bush is up to yet. Strategy can be pretty a pretty tricky thing to figure out when you are not involved in what the other guy is thinking.

              If the Euro nations are so hot and heavy to police the world, why aren't they picking up the slack. Why are they selling anthrax and nuclear reactors to Saddam? They're all talk and little action.
              We fight. They judge. Sounds fair to me.

                That statement shows you know nothing about the court, and are using scare tactics .

                The ICC can't bring charges for a one-time offense. It must be systematic.

                  Well we were systematicaly spying for several years. Also we had some orders that I cannot talk about here. The point is that we did not need to be dragged before a foreign body that is over in Europe not engaged in the battle.

                    By the way Imran, do you ever withdraw from a position even when I proved that you are wrong? Just repent and see it my way and we can save a lot of time here.

                      The Euros all have the "little brother complex". Cpmplain about whatever big brother does wrong even as he's protecting them. Buncha born critics. Not a leader in the bunch. Take that back, Thatcher had some stones...

                            Um.. what? You've never proved me wrong. In fact, I've proven you wrong a number of times and you never acknowledged it. Have you ever been right on anything except your political wing?

                              When is spying a war crime? Again, not understand anything.

                                Yep, it's KY. I don't have to tell Aunt Lucy, though,
