        When it makes for useful trolling material. In this case, it also has the added benefit of being true for the duration of Sharon's term of office.

          Why is Saddam not sued? Because nobody lodged complaint against him.
          And lived.

            And for some local publicity stunts...

            The Princess Hotel in Eilat(one of the best Israeli hotels) announced that Belgian citizens are "not welcome" in the hotel.
            I would hope the Israeli government would come down HARD on that. Not kosher.

              This is so much crap

              The question is:

              Is/Was Sharon a Terrorist/Criminal, no excuses, no buts, no under the circumstances. Yes or No.

              If it's - Yes, Belguim is right and is the most advanced
              civilization on the planet.

              If it's No, Then drop all this rightous terrorist, war criminal propaganda crap.

                  crap and won't bear up under public examination.

                          of course.

                          How should I answer that?
                          - sarcastic: What in your country, only the victim itself may sue? Not the parents? Geez, I start understanding why there is so many blood crime in the US: kill your victim and you're safe.
                          - teacher: Well, you know, there is always the possibility for a parent, a related, a group, to sue 'in the name of'.
                          - naive: there is always a survivor.
                          - arrogant: Use your brain and come with a better argument.
                          [/teasing]

                          No, seriously: I understand what you mean. There is very little hope to get him, so nobody will even try to sue him, while with democracy's leaders and old dictators there is hope, so they will be sued more often than others.
                          Yes, you are right. That is the bad side of the coin. But blame it the victims, not the tribunal or Belgium... or do you mean we should also involve the country (Belgium) and army to get the bad guys?

                            First, it is not Belgium who sue Sharon (or Castro, or Arafat). Belgium offers the possibility to victims to sue someone.
                            Why is Saddam not sued? Because nobody lodged complaint against him.
                            Second, the belgian tribunal is competent only when the international tribunal (la haye) is not. The first idea of this b. tribunal came when attrocities in former yugoslavia were discovered, before that international trib even exiat. When the IT finaly exist, the belgian one became 'useless'. The idea was kept and because not all countries accepted (signed, ratified...) the LaHaye tribunal, so it was decided to keep the belgian one as a 'last hope' for victims.
                            I don't know if russia recognize the international tribunal, but if so, potential 'victims' of Putin may sue him at LaHaye. And as I said Belgium has sued nobody until yet: neither Putin, nor Sharon. I'm not even sure that a state may sue someone?!?!?
                            Keep going Belgium. The path you have choosen deserves support from other nations - an example to follow.

                            I know no government in Denmark would have had the guts to make a similar law or even support Belgium in public - their masters wouldn't like it.
                            First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

                              I love it when so many people say "go Belgium ! It is good to sue Sharon ! But boo the US ! It is bad to attack Saddam !"
                              I love it as well when people say the exact opposite

                              IMHO, this Belgian law is stupid. I can't wait to see the International Court of Justice taking over, to become a legitimate source of international judgement. Until then, it is Israel which has to deal with his war-criminal Leader.
