If only some other people would at least have the chance to go before a trial, as Milosevic does, no matter how you disagree with it. Some are convicted without any trial. Without the right to defend. Where their religion/nationality is proof alone for their guilt. Why don't I hear the same people expressing their concern for those cases. The right to fair trial for ALL, regardless what communist or "evil axis" country they come from.

Bluester - Unlike many on here I am actually in favour (in principle) of an international criminal court, but not adhoc tribunals, and not set up and funded by an interested party. That is just fake victor's justice.

We already have international laws, treaties and conventions - the very people who stamped all over these to disguise their aggression and crimes are the very people who seek one-sided justice. If a court is founded, then it needs to be done properly, but it never will be because the US will never support it. (Some of) us Europeans know that we're not infallible, but as the only current Superpower the US is hardly likely to allow its people to be judged by the likes of Del Ponte!!!

Hoplite: "Does this mean you're going to have nice discussions with skinheads?"
Many of the 'suits' are just skinheads in disguise nowadays anyway.
