>> Mr. Axworthy argues, in fact, that bringing charges against Iraqi president Saddam Hussein under the ICC could be part of an alternative to war. It's a move, he says, that could begin to seriously shake the dictator's support within Iraq and -- along with sustained pressure from the UN and other international bodies -- help bring about his downfall, by means other than a war with potentially explosive consequences for the Middle East. He adds that terrorism needs to be defined as a crime under international law with a multinational "constabulary" of police forces and tribunals established to bring perpetrators to justice. As proof of the futility of an all-out military assault on terrorism, Mr. Axworthy says, "just listen to the tapes" released last week, which showed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had survived the war in Afghanistan.
