Maybe because the international court is something no sane nation should
support "as is." The lack of rights to a fair jury trial, language translator,
and legal counsel are the 3 biggest reasons to NOT support the international
court. It should be noted that this applies to civilians not just soldiers. I
don't know maybe everyone else does not have these rights normally or
something. Frankly I find that sad. Though it would explain some of the
mindless propaganda recitation about the "evil" USA. Personally I belive
everyone on the planet should be entitled to the same rights that a US citizen
enjoys.

You mean the "one guy" who was responsible for hundreds of suicide bombings of
JUST cilivians and was using his wives and children as human sheilds?
Personally I have given up trying to figure out who started it. (There are so
many contradicting accounts of history it is absurd.) All I see right now is
one side specifically targeting civilians and another side who put themselves
at greater risk to keep civilian causaulties to a minimum. In a perfect world
no civilians would die in war but this is not a perfect world is it.
