Here's a question for you RB.

On what basis does the ICC get it's authority? Where is it's power and legitimacy(sp) derived from? Why must we cow-tow to this "extra-national legal instrument"?

At the same time in your argument, you use the basis of war crimes. This is a whole nother can of worms, like most things political it is a issue of relativism, semantics, and politics. What constitutes a war crime? On what basis does an international body have more authority and legitimacy then our own government?
