<...trust these clowns with the international legal status of Americans ?? I mean, let's get real !!!!! > To paraphrase Orwell: All war criminals are equal under international law, but some war criminals are more equal than others. Everyone (the French, Americans, Islamists, Israelis) says, "Our thugs get a pass; your thugs should be assassinated, or at least tried by the ICC." Calley gets 3 1/2 years of house arrest. Do you think the American Taliban Walker will get out in 3 1/2 years? Why doesn't he get house arrest, like Calley? The Guantanamo prisoners who are citizens of the Anglosphere and close allies get special treatment, some even get released. The rest get a life sentence ("till the end of the war on terror"). The Israeli press is openly talking about killing Arafat. When the Arab press talks about killing Sharon for his war crimes, this is called "Arab savagery" and "anti-semitism" and evidence that Arabs are not civilized. Israel says they can't deal with Arafat because he is a terrorist. Yet at least two Israeli Prime Ministers (Begin and Sharon) meet the definition of terrorist, using any objective definition.
