unforturtunately true.........force is respected.......crimes against humanity........

I can think of a long list of people who, in a perfect world, would have crimes to answer for. Perhaps, before we go after Saddam Hussain, we could get our friends the Saudis to expel Idi Amin from his comfortable retirement. Or stop sending money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. Perhaps we could take down all the statues of Washington (who ordered the ethnic cleansing of the Iriquous from the upper Hudson Valley during the Revolutionary War), or General (later President) Jackson, who did the same thing in Mississippi in 1811-1813, to secure his logistics lines to New Orleans. He got elected President, largely because of his glorious victory there. Or President (previously General) Grant, who ordered the same thing done to the Great Plains tribes after the Civil War. Perhaps we could take the log out of our own eye, before trying to take the splinter out of the other guy's eye.
