Oh yes, some refutation on your part. Do you even understand the ICC?

It makes no difference whether or not the ICC is signed or ratified by the US. Now that the ICC exists, anyone in the world, including Americans, can be tried before it. And once they are, they can be grabbed as soon as they are in a country that has signed the ICC.

Since some of the crimes the ICC has jurisdiction over are such things as 'Agression', basically anyone the court doesn't like can be tried (since agression is however the court defines it. And since the course is run by our enemies - anti-american socialists in Europe and anti-american islamists in the middle east, it's now open season on our troops anywhere.

And it's not like our courst could opt to try them instead. That is technically a first option, but only if it's satisfied to the ICC's whim. If not, then the ICC will do it.

Not only on the troops, I'm afraid. "Aggression" is a very handy definition. Any politician who speacks out against islamism thought in schools? Aggression. Any parent who doesn't like "gay living" thought to 4th-graders? Aggression. You can basically go after anyone, anytime.

Remember: Verbal Terrorism is a crime in America. It is, in fact, one of the "crimes" listed by the US administration in the case of the JDL.
