How could any American congress person balk at this legislation? At least it will show us who the obvious traitors are--which is why it will probably never be voted on.

Sen. Christopher J. Dodd said the treaty creating the ICC was too flawed for the United States to ratify but warned against "sticking a finger in the eyes" of U.S. allies with the ASPA.

"I cannot believe that ... at the very moment we are asking the world to join in apprehending the thugs and criminals who claimed 6,000 lives ... we would say we will have nothing to do with the establishment of an International Criminal Court," the Connecticut Democrat said.

I cannot bellieve that ... at the very moment we are asking the world to hand over info on terrorists who just committed an act of war on American soil... that a dumbarse like Dodd would be concerned about world opinion of us.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by
the exertions of better men than himself.

~~ John Stuart Mill ~~

I'll tell you what I can't believe. I can't believe that Dodd is a senator. This guy is on the wrong side of everything.
