War crimes immunity

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, and ride on with our trusty sidekick Britain.

Or pay our dues, submit to things like world courts,

It is a farce, as exemplified by Sudan heading the human rights advisory
council. One world order is a pipe dream and a horrible idea to boot.

I’m sure many others would say Bush heading it would also be a “farce”. After

exemption extended.
You simply do not understand the damage he is doing the US’s image
internationally. We have reached a state of affairs where the “leader of the
free world” can’t promote human rights, international law or free trade outside
it due to his own record.
