The entire point is its independance, however the US is upset because it or the UN does not have leverage or a veto, and so it should not, a court of law is a court of law.

Verdicts should be based purley on the evidence at hand.

No evidence, no trial. Bad evidence, then equit. Good evidence, then confict and you pay the price, no matter what your position in live, government, military, civilian.

I am not saying that this is the best court, we will have to wait and see, but on the other hand, when the last days do come, and we are all judged individually, no one will have a veto, so we better get used to it.

When the last days come and we get judged, there will be no doubt about jurisdiction or fairness. Those are both problems under the ICC. Until some safeguards are installed to prevent politically motivated prosecutions, we need to stay out of it.
