Post; International Court of Justice to trial american soldiers ?

Italian Guy · July 12th, 2004

Uhm.. feel free to move this elsewhere cuz I couldnt think of the right place to start it in.

People around me often argue that the US actually acts just like the non democratic countries do on the international scene since it doesnt accept the rule of the International Court of Justice to judge their soldiers.
I patiently (seldom ) take my time to explain them that of course the UD does good.
why should the americans accept that any judge, anywhere, anytime, sues , say, the US President for alleged crimes on humankind or warcrimes or such? the President should leave office until he is recognized innocent ( if he is ), therefore making democracy virtually useless.
In fact, he is the highest rank of the US armed forces.
In my opinion they do good in non accepting such jurisdiction.
We already have bilteral agreements of extradiction with many countries and that must be enough.
I will keep fighting those ignorant ideas back to where they come from.
I know it's a very specific topic but - hey - we got 1,300 users here, anyone interested ?
