Ron Paul is RIGHT ON for opposing the ICC in toto, not going along with it or merely trying to "protect US servicemen". The ICC--as well as the ICTY--negates our 1,000-year-old system of jurisprudence, with its safeguards of the rights of the accused. America needs to stand FIRM for fair, civilized, and democratic standards of jurisprudence throughout the world.
As the ICC nears implementation, the traitor chorus of "human rightsers" and world "federalists" are coming out of the woodwork, claiming "victory for humanity". However, the ICC's implementation would mean JUST THE OPPOSITE !!!!
The evil "genius" behind the ICC (and the ICTY), M. Cherif Bassiouni--is after victory for something else--making islamic sharia law equal to the American system of jurisprudence, and putting muslim "judges" on the international bench, to rule on cases involving "infidels" and "disbelievers" as defendants, where they are considered guilty even beofre the "trial" begins. This is already happening in the ICTY!!!
Someone who gives a damn about our troops and America should kill Senator Daniel Inouye! These Goddamn Communists think that Freedom is free, well ask the men and women who died fighting for America's freedom what the price was for them. The ultimate....DEATH. THAT'S WHAT THEY PAID FOR US TO BE FREE!
Not as long as I breathe. I can't do much for the other cowardly countries who signed this piece of garbage, but the very first time some UN "enforcer" tries to arrest a US serviceman or diplomat under the auspices of this court, I'm going to war. One UN member at a time.
