These kangaroo courts keep popping up in all kinds of third-world, not-exactly-western-democracy locations. Wish we would obliterate any city where one of these roach motels are located :).

native Mexicans and new arrivals are overwhelmingly Anti-American.

The proposition was political values.

Recent immigrants may not be assimilating but their culture is conservative.

Your posture seems to imply that these recent immigrants may attempt to secede. That may be, but I think they will adopt their new culture and embrace our system once they are in control of several border states. Remember they fled a corrupt system and I doubt they will want to come under its influence again.

thoughts?

Beware of greeks bearing gifts or geeks wearing gilt or whatever. The greeks have not amounted to a fiddler's fart in 2000 years, and this sort of mischief does not improve their status as a nation of the second tier-- which is to say that there are at least a hundred nations of more consequence than Greece by any reasonable measure now and there is little about Greece to suggest they will be moving up rather than down in the hierarchy of nations any time soon.Fortunately, we have a lot of intellegent and charming and productive Greeks in America-- maybe more of them than are left in the old country. If they had stayed in Greece, perhaps that benighted country might have prospered a little, but the Greek expatriates who settled in America had reasons to leave there, and reasons to come here and not somewhere else. Our gain; Greece's loss.

10,000 casualites? Best info I have read so far is that possibly as few as 400 - 500 Iraqi civilians lost their lives in the Iraq War. It's quite a stretch to believe that another 9,500 were injured.

Those claiming such a high number of civilian casualities need to provide indisputable proof. After all, the injured are still alive, so it should be quite easy to count them and get a credible story about exactly how they were injured.

Alot of this has to do with the protestors. The people who organized the anti-war protests have set this up. This is just a gut feeling I have. They have decided since they could not stop the war they were going to bring Blair and Bush up on war crimes. I swear I think Bill Clinton is giving advice to these people too. They can't get Bush on their AWOL theory so the next thing they want to try is war crimes. Watch out next for the 9/11 conspiracy to go full swing soon with the help of Graham. The Democreeps are in cohoots with the Euroweenies to get rid of Bush!

The essence of the US culture. Immigration.

What is good for Milosevic is good for Blair.

[plain talk]

You left out one - Saddam Hussain. Interesting that these kangaroos charge someone who helped free Iraq from a real war criminal.

[yonif]

The Greeks claim that the U.S.-U.K. invasion of Iraq violates the United Nations Charter, the Geneva Convention, the Hague Convention and the International Criminal Court's statute.

I wonder if they would say the same about Saddam Hussein.

[Valin]

Sure. They'll be charged just as soon as there are frost warnings in hell.

It's really a shame that stupidity isn't illegal.

[DB]

It's "NewsMax"...

The last report I heard from Iraqi doctors reporting from Iraqi hospitals was that there were fewer than 3,000 civilian casualties.

[David Hunter]

This is shocking, disgusting and outrageous. Maybe the "International Criminal Court" socialist scumbags should consider prosecuting Saddam Hussein's henchmen rather than a leader of the free world like Blair. The Greeks are a disgrace too, if it weren't for Britain they would have been part of the Soviet Empire, but perhaps they wouldn't have minded considering how much they love all things Russian.

Blair was a fool to ratify the ICC treaty. The ICC is a joke it won't go after psychopathic dictators (since they are friends of France and Germany), instead it will try to damage the leaders of democratic countries who make unpopular military decisions.

Is Michael Moore chief justice of this tribunal?

So far nearly seventy celebrities, including Harry Belafonte, Chevy Chase, Richard Dreyfuss, Mike Farrell, Susan Sarandon, Noah Wyle and others, have signed a letter urging senators to "support U.S. engagement with the Victims Trust Fund and the International Criminal Court."

[Republican Wildcat]

Blair is guilty of crimes against humanity, but Saddam was not. This is insanity.

[nmh]

Of course even if Saddam Insane is still alive and captured ... they wouldn't dare charge him with human rights violations let alone how he treated prisoners on trumped up charges. Nah, charge Bush and Blair with war crimes.

[Vinnie]

I believe our last President was FOR the ICC, correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe you are correct. I will add I believe Jesse Helms said "In your dreams".
