As for the remainder of your post, it simply misses the point. So long as the US insists that all international arrangements have to fit their own narrow self interests only and no negotiations possible; so long as they, quite obviously, aim to dismantle the entire panoply of international institutions which have grown up in the last fifty to sixty years without replacements in mind; just so long will Zakaria's comment be the most relevant You've got the wrong end of the stick here, John. Who was trying to force the ICC on whom? It was the Euros who concocted the mess, then tried to insist that we sign on to it without revisions. Moreover, it is the ICC that tries to dismantle (and remake in its own image) the history of international treaties. No former international treaty ever tried to impose itself on non-signatories. I know it's a principle of yours never to admit it, but sometimes the US is not in the wrong - even under the present administration.
