The US and the ICC

[Bret Walker]

More attempts by the US government to make the world at large even more pissed at us: The US Congress recently signed a bill that stated that, if a US Serviceman were held by the International Criminal Court and tried for war crimes, that Congress would authorize the US armed forces to invade the Netherlands. (The ICC is in The Hague)

I mean, so here we are, isolating ourselves, invading whomever we please, and calling ourselves a superpower. Is it just me, or does this sound like Nazi Germanyof the 30's and 40's? These are scary times, my friends. Scary times for both Americans and for the world at large.

Indeed. Why does this administration, more than any other in the history of the US, believe itself to be beyond reproach for every decision that they make? How is it that every president before Gee-Dub has been openly criticized at one time or another, but to criticize Gee-Dub is considered "Un-American?" Josef Stalin, move over. There's a new tyrant in town.
