As much as I enjoy our correspondence, Laz, please do me a favor next time, and don't reply, especially in such condescending tones, to a post you don't take the time to understand:

>>>Still, many in this world would rather see the US aligned with Western European democracies<<<
We would too. WTH sems to be your problem?


The "problem" is that the list of coutries Buschman has shown to be on the side of the US in refusing to recognize the ICC are NOT Western European democracies:

>>>and Iraq<<<
We're allied with Iraq? Last I heard your version was that we were their invaders and suppressers. Would you provide the full title of the treaty that makes this true? I have this link where I can find the text of any treaty the US is party to.


You misunderstand, and then attack. Waste my time, Laz, why don't you?

If you had taken the time to check the post I was referring to, you would see that THIS is the list of countries ALIGNED (I did not say not "allied", btw) with the US in refusing to recognize ICC, as per Buschman's post:

"If you mean the International Criminal Court at The Hague, then no, the US does not recognize its claimed jurisdiction. Neither does Russia, China, Japan, Mexico, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Chile, the Philipines, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Ethiopia and a host of other sovereign states ... including ... the Principality of Monaco."

As you can see above, yes, IRAQ is part of that list.
