NOW WE ARE THE IRAQ EXTREMISTS
Edited on Fri Aug-22-03 10:01 AM by dArKeR
THE "liberation" of Iraq is a cruel joke on a stricken people. The Americans and British, partners in a great recognised crime, have brought down on the Middle East, and much of the rest of the world, the prospect of terrorism and suffering on a scale that al-Qaeda could only imagine.

That is what this week's bloody bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad tells us.

It is a "wake-up call", according to Mary Robinson, the former UN Humanitarian Commissioner.

She is right, of course, but it is a call that millions of people sounded on the streets of London and all over the world more than seven months ago - before the killing began.

What gets me is the International Criminal Court is changing it's 'rules of prosecution' (who can be prosecuted) at the will of Bush and making it impossible to prosecute Bush, Blair and Howard for murder.

1. What do you mean about the "World Court"?
I assume you're talking about the International Criminal Court. I don't think the "rules of prosecution" have been changed, but individual bilateral treaties have been signed between the US and a number of other countries--completely independently of the ICC--that proclude the prosecution of Americans through the court.

Got more info?

2. US is not signatory to the ICC and is therefore immune
how convenient.
