Europeans add two to the "Axis of Evil":

According to El Pais, a massive 59 percent of Europeans said they believed that Israel is the biggest obstacle to world peace.

According to the same survey, Europeans believe the United States contributes the most to world instability along with Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and North Korea.

Jacob, is the Rome Ruling the basis of the ICC treaty, or is it not? I have read the Rome Ruling, and the crimes of "agression" and "occupation" are in it; and only vaguely defined. You say the crimes are well defined, show me the code. Ditto for jurisdiction - I am reading from the Rome Ruling.

I agree with you on the "Isralization" of the US - defined by the attempt to exercise political control through politicized prosecutions and the excercise of double standards, to achieve ends unobtainable by either standard diplomacy or war.

The Belgian courts have a great connection to the ICC, by showing us what an unaccountable prosecutor claiming unlimited jurisdiction will chose to prosecute.
