C'mon folks, we need some help!

Despite US threats and protests, the International Criminal Court became a reality on April 11 when several more countries ratified its treaty. The ICC will be the first global judicial institution to deal with the most serious crimes of international concern, marking an important step towards recognition of universal human rights. But the Bush administration is emphatic that there is no need for a world court, fearing that it could be used to ensnare US soldiers and politicians in "show trials". At an estimated annual cost of $25 to $40m initially a year, is such a court necessary and should the US back the idea?
