I'm more interested in how our US friends feel about the International Criminal Court.
Taking into account that apparently, they want an independent body saying that they are not comitting war crimes so that once and for all, it's over with these accusations against the noble US, it is a bit strange that they don't want to recognise the ICC.
The ICC is the independent body they are looking for; able to judge impartial about things like this. Or is the US not keen on a judgement by the ICC, because they won't like the outcome? Is all this "there have been no war crimes comitted, we did investigations" talk, just that: talk?
A judgement by the country that is accused of comitting war crimes, is not at all useful: nemo iudex in causa sua.
I mentioned the ICC 5 days ago and the subject remains ignored. That's telling, imo. And it smells like hypocrisy. Don't whine about people not believing the results of your investigations if you refuse to submit yourself to an independent body capable of judging if war crimes have or have not been committed by your country. The international community has every right to question your impartiality in this, because by definition, the US cannot be impartial in this.
