<War crimes case planned against U.S> .Look at the good side. It will keep lawyers occupied until the end of time, and out of our private lives. I cant wait to hear what the penalties would be for various degrees of guilt, and who or what country will enforce the law. Will all US citizens be guilty of a crime as accessories ,or just the congressmen who voted for the action in Iraq.? We can afford better lawyers than most countries, and judges can be bought Would it be a legal act if we starved 1/2 the Russian population by refusing to sell them wheat in a bad crop year? What if two nations decide to just fight it out and not declare a war that would come under ICC supervision? IMO morality will have to exceed legality for some time yet, but developing universal global "laws" should be looked into. Most of our laws were developed from old English business laws, where the richest guy wins. Imposing a "top down" set of laws worldwide could cause more casualties than it prevents.
