I'm content to be considered a "criminal" by the ICC -- it has no jurisdiction outside of countries which have signed its stupid treaty -- and I never travel to those dumb places anyway. So there! Nyaah, nyaah.
I stay in the civilized world, where there is Rule By Law -- not kangaroo courts making politicized decisions in favor of ruthless dictatorships.
Shades of not invented here? From what I read & hear, the general perception in Europe is that it's the US who's at fault for refusing to sign up to (yet another) international effort. Ed, please keep your politics off-list, especially at a time when the US is only too happy to impose its will by force without the backing of the UN. At least the ICC has that.
