I have to say that I honestly could not blame anyone for doing whatever is necessary to keep their countrymen from being brought before the ICC. I don't include just Americans, but anyone. No one should have to be brought before such an elitist institution where they will be cattle for the slaughter. Even the most biggoted nations would give a so-called war criminal a fairer trial in their courts than the ICC would. War is a crime, to create a new concept called a "war-crime" is pointless. The only war criminals are the politicians that start wars. All wars are avoidable. Stupid politicians that are unwilling to act with half the intelligence of their constituents are the root cause of war.

Very true, and after Durban, I don't think anyone can expect the ICC to be anything but (at best) a powerless "feel good" farce, and at worst the main force for tyranny to come along in quite a few decades.
