[Chewbacca]

Yep, I hate to be a citizen of the only country to abstain from such a noble concept but some of the reasons for backing out make sense. Such a body needs a check and balance.

Its kinda hypocritical that although we dont extend our constituional rights to foriegn detainees in our own country, its reasonable that we expect a world court to recognize our citizens constiutonal rights beyond U.S. borders. Dont get me wrong, I'm for equitable judicial rights world-wide.

I think the issue needs to be renegotiated and when this permanent court come to be, the first Americans tried should be those that brainchilded the carpet bombing of Loas during the Vietnam conflict, True war crimes were commited by Americans over there and the stink went strait back to the top.
