No matter how we may feel about Clinton or the KLA in Kosovo, it is hard to side with Serbian attacks on Catholic Croatia.How does turning over a war criminal or two make the Serbs our friends? And how will allowing one of our enemies to destroy or at least detain another of our enemies suggest or imply support for Serbian aggression? Can you think of a better way to make use of one of our many enemies?
The enemy of our enemy is not automatically our friend.
To many on FreeRepublic, the fact that Clinton bombed the Serbs automatically makes the Serbs saints in their eyes.
There were no saints on any side of the Yugoslav wars. However, given a choice between the Serbs trying to establish a Greater Serbia in Croatia and the Croats defending Croatia, I'll side with the Croats.
If you mean turning over Clinton, think about the future implications to the U.S.
Once such a precedent is set, then any American policymaker can be turned over to a foreign Court once the political winds change in the future.
Cuba can demand that members of the Reagan Administration be handed over to a U.N. Tribunal for attacking Cuban troops in Grenada. An America-hating U.N. would only be too happy to support such a request.
What next? Handing over George W. Bush to a U.N. Tribunal in the year 2009 for his support of "racist Israel"? Handing over Bush, Senior because Iraq claims "genocide" as a result of Gulf War sanctions?
American sovereignty must never be surrendered to a foreign institution. Not even in the case of William Jefferson Clinton.
Clinton may be lower than whale sh*t at the bottom of the ocean but he is America's whale sh*t and no country but America has a right to judge him.
