Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
"But there won't be any, cause "the rules don't apply for Americans":
(Quote from the article) "In 1998, 120 countries signed up to a resolution in Rome calling for the formation of an International Criminal Court.
Only seven members of the United Nations voted against the resolution. The most prominent of these being the United States which argued that the court might be ineffective and become a tool for politically motivated prosecutions of Americans.""
Which is actually a fairly legit concern. If a court becomes politically motivated, it gets much less useful. Ussually.
"And AFAIK "the President got imunity", so its not possible to raise a civil case in the US either."
Under US law I think the President could pardon himself, making any trial a bit..pointless. (of course if it came to that he'd be commiting political suicide)
