USA: Not Accountable?

[vox]

UNITED NATIONS - The Bush administration will not take part in the International Criminal Court scheduled to be ratified next month and is considering removing its signature from the treaty that created it, a top war crimes envoy said yesterday.
''The US is not and will not be part of the ICC,'' said Pierre Prosper, the State Department's ambassador at large for war crimes issues, told reporters in New York.

April 11 is the date set by the UN and court supporters for when the 60th country will ratify the treaty - the number needed to establish the court. To date, 139 nations have signed the treaty; 56 have ratified the treaty and at least nine more are expected to sign it.

Of course, even when the World Court ruled against the USA, it didn't matter. The US ignored the ruling and nothing at all was done about it.

Isn't it embarrasing for americans when they are in other countrys? If i am american, i would be ashamed!

[Fires of History]

What the U$ is forgetting is that all empires fall, and that when they do, the rest of the world will rightfully treat it like it treated so many others...

And Amerikkkans will wonder why.

But you're right. The U$ doesn't care about the UN, or anything else for that matter except for its own self-righteous interests.

Poo Poo On The States,
Trance

P.S. Deimos, I was born in the States, and I am ashamed! That's why I moved to Canada. I am working on rejecting my Amerikkkan citizenship, it's harder than it sounds.
