The rule of law is not anti-american! It is a set of rules that are FAIR and americans should not be afraid of it! A war-crime is a war-crime independent of who does it. The benefits of an american support to the ICC will be far larger then the negative consequenses.

Our civilization functions under the "rule of law", so your statement is an axiom.
It is a set of rules that are FAIR and Americans should not be afraid of it!
Wrong. The ICC is not covered under our constitution and to defer to it is to toss our sovereignty out the window.
A war-crime is a war-crime independent of who does it.
I choose my own country to determine such a classification any day in eternity versus giving that task to communists/socialists/liberals/progressives/dictators/etc from other countries. We already have a hard enough time functioning with those types in our own country.

Wrong. Specify the benefits please. To Subscribe to the ICC's jurisdiction is to relinquish our sovereignty to a foreign body, and that is Unconstitutional, IMO.
