Heck, I provided a link above that flatly contradicted your own bizarre claims - Southack
"No you didn't. You provided a link to an article which agreed with Bush's stance on the ICC. Bush didn't kill the ICC. That is rubbish and you know it."
If you will refer back to my post #114, you might be able to comprehend that I said that Bush pulled the U.S. out of the ICC, which he did, and I cited the CATO link to further back that point up, and both of THOSE items combine to flatly debunk your own claim in post #159 that went like this:
Bush pulled the U.S. out of the International (Socialist) Criminal Court, for another. - Southack
"No he didn't." - Demidog
Not that I expect you to admit that you've been proven wrong yet again, but you have been once again proven wrong (with sources - something which you can't manage to produce to support your own wild-eyed rants).
You keep harping over the Cato article. It was an opinion that doesn't prove much. Are you or are you not aware that the Senate is the body which deals with treaties?

Today, April 11, 2002, the sixtieth ratification of the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court (ICC) will be recorded in a ceremony at the United Nations in New York. This is a day for the world community to celebrate an historic achievement in the long struggle to advance human rights and to end genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Yet, we at Friends Committee on National Legislation are troubled that the United States will not be among the sixty ratifying countries, and we are concerned further to hear reports that you are considering removing the U.S. signature from the statute.
You have so little understanding of the issues you argue that you have once again been hoisted by your own petard. The ICC has not been affected other than the fact that the US has not agreed to the "Rome Statute."
In fact, this could change later as I stated. The Bush administration had good reasons for reversing the signature. But that doesn't change the fact that the ICC still wil exist, that Bush could still reverse himself and that the Cato piece was not proof of anything other than the Rand faction of the libertarian movement (if you can call Randians libertarians at all) agreed with Bush. Heck, the LP probably applauded his actions too.
On the other hand, in repudiating the Rome Statute, Bush gave legitimacy to the UN Security counsel. Do you disagree that the UN is communist world government?
