My first post! I need help :)
I need help with my signature. I'm not a native speaker. My signature says "Bush to The Hague". That means I demand that he be tried before the International Court of Law. But does "Bush to The Hague" make any sense in English? If not, how would one put it?

Thank you for your help :)

1. Makes perfect sense in English
or any other language. Where are you from?

3. It makes sense to me
and probably most people here.

I doubt the rest of America even knows (or cares) what The Hague is.

9. unfortunately that is probably true

I like you way better actually.

10. sounds good!
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 06:41 PM by imenja
and an important point. Abu Graib made clear why the US didn't want to become a signator to the international human rights court. And why my country, I note with great sadness, does not deserve a seat on the UN Human Rights Commission.
Where are you from?

12. Thank you for your prompt replies :)
I'm momentarily living in the region of Frankfurt/Main (yes, take that down, government spies, you're going to find out anyway, so these nice people here may as well know about it, too) which I would love to leave for the country side.

Spaten beer is good but the small private breweries are a revelation. Unfortunately there's only a handful of those left. With globalization we will probably have to drink American - sorry for the "" - "beer" here in the future.

LDS Jock: I LOVE that kitten thing. Will make a postcard from it.

imenja: I know the sadness you speak of. I wish I could be proud of my country at all times - I cannot be. But believe me that you are doing good here on this board and that I'm spreading the word that the other America DOES exist :)

Hope I haven't forgotten anybody/anything :)

Feels good to be here :)

22. If the Bushistas can be prevented from bombing it it'll wait for you. :)
Munich is indeed a very nice city. I'm saying this in spite of detesting Bavarian politicians most of all :)

21. You might lengthen it to read, "Send Bush to the Hague."
Just a suggestion.

And welcome to DU! Glad you're here. :hi:
