"I just find it hard to believe that some FReepers actually think that the US military won't protect them from being dragged off to the UN 'Court'."

I suspect it is going to depend on who is in charge of the US military. Do you think that Clinton would have ordered the US Army or Navy to prevent the arrest of or rescue from UN detention an American citizen accused of some 'crime against humanity'?

Well since the treaty has never been ratified by a 2/3 US Senate vote it won't happen at all.
Also from what I understand the so called "court" would only prosecute government officials
(which means the Senate will never ratify it, since it will be their hides will be on the line)
or military personnel (which means the military would rescue it's own.)
Even klintoon understood his signature meant nothing but a PR move.
He knew the Senate would never ratify it, and 15 some months later they still haven't done a thing with it.
The UN can say all it wants "Your in" but it has no legal authority to do anything.
We never ratified the treaty.
