well, at least you were nice about it.
i tried to be clear that i was not equating all war crimes with genocide, but maybe i failed in that.
on the other hand, i still see no problem whatsoever with a mechanism that would operate at the international level that would enforce laws pretaining to crimes against humanity. it is obvious that the bush administration is not capable of holding its own forces to such standards. it is obvious that the bush administration feels things like the geneva convention to be unnecessary constraints (bush's nominee to a.g. has referred to it as "quaint"). if you have an administration like this one in power, then it seems to me to follow that there is all the more reason for such an international court, and that opposition to it from supporters of the administration are, to say the least, problematic.
