Poll Question: Despite US threats and protests, the International Criminal Court became a reality on April 11 when several more countries ratified its treaty. The ICC will be the first global judicial institution to deal with the most serious crimes of international concern, marking an important step towards recognition of universal human rights. But the Bush administration is emphatic that there is no need for a world court, fearing that it could be used to ensnare US soldiers and politicians in "show trials". At an estimated annual cost of $25 to $40m initially a year, is such a court necessary and should the US back the idea?

I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. [Thomas Jefferson, letter to Benjamin Rush, 1800.]
It would serve America well if all of our elected, appointed, Military and Civil Service persons were required to take that oath.
As I think about it, that might even be a worthwhile petition opportunity for the FRee Republic to take on.
What say you, FReepers?
