The only proper response to any attempted or real intrusion by The Hague on our judicial system is:
F U C K Y O U ! !
Why do the courts never cite Sharia, which calls for the stoning of homosexuals and adulterers, plus cutting off thieves’ hands?
My “law” is the US Constitution-not some feel-good kumbyah fantasy thought up by “internationalists”
When are the fuckwits in the State Department, almost all career parasites, going to get with the program and DO AS THEY ARE FUCKING TOLD. They don’t make policy, they implement it. Fucking arrogant tools.
I’m open to correction on this, but I don’t think men(?) like Saddam have rights. They do not draw their just powers from the consent of the governed.
However, if and when it’s to our self-interest to intervene...that’s something that reasonable people can disagree about.
When I first consulted the “Catechism” regarding a “Just War” the first criterion was: “Is it achieveable?” Good point! Why worry about whether things you can’t do are right or wrong?
Jezuz, Bud.... how about those killed when Saddam invaded Iran, or Kuwait? I’ve got a nifty picture of a dead Kurdish woman holding her dead baby—victims of Saddam’s poison gas attack. Don’t the free Iraqis voting count for anything?
You tell me something you think is fighting for. Then I’ll start counting the victims. Or is nothing worth fighting for?
OCM, 1600 lives (although a high price) is a relatively low price to pay for peace and stability in that region, not to mention 40 million Iraqis who no longer have to live in fear of a madman and his two insane sons.
It may turn out to be a better investment than the tens of thousands of Americans who died in 1944 to free [spit] France.
I call it, “being able to see the big picture” or “seeing further than the nose on your face”
