Kerry in early 70's:
"I'm an internationalist"
Bush in the early 70's:
"Pass me another fucking beer! Whooooo!"
Men do change over time.
Anyway, Kerry's statements of support for the ICC have always included exemptions for American military personnel and political leaders, which is the central stipulation that the Bush administration has called for before considering entry into the ICC.
