Why does Bush oppose the ICC?

A new website that I heard about, it's aim is to provide updates and action alerts regarding the ICC and opposition to the ICC in the U.S. It's a view you won't hear in the "mass" media!

The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court received the required ratifications to enter into force on on April 11, 2002, when 10 countries deposited the instrument of ratification with the UN Secretary General, bringing the total number of ratifications to 66. The statute entered in to force on July 1st, 2002. On this day, over 70 countries have ratified the treaty. States must complete ratification by 30 November 2002 in order to participate in the nomination and election of judges and the Prosecutor. The Court is expected to be fully functional by mid-2003.

The Bush Administration opposes the International Criminal Court because the ICC will make it more difficult to conduct war. The ICC will help to deter war. Right-wing opposition to the ICC in the United States is not wholly a result of egoism and unilateralism, it is in the interest of protecting the ability of a few to profit from war. The ICC will represent the interests of the many who suffer from war and other crimes against humanity.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Comments are welcome, but before you waste perfectly useful energy abusing me please take a moment to reflect on the basic right we all have to express ourselves!

Please remember that I am not telling you what to think or believe, take everything you read here with a large grain of salt!

If you confront the Universe with good intentions in your heart it will reflect that and reward your intent... usually... It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect.

So there, we have figured it out, go back to bed America, your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed America, your government is in control again. Here, here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed America, here's American Gladiators. Here's 56 channels of it. Watch these pituitary retards bang their fuckin skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go America, you are free... to do as we tell you.

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.

Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
