This op-ed in the Washington Post supports a thoroughly bad idea: Repeal or substantial repeal of the American Servicemembers Protection Act (ASPA): Next month’s anniversary is an appropriate time for Congress to review U.S. policy toward the court and whether the restrictions (including the authorization to invade The Hague) in the American Service-Members’ Protection Act […]

The NY Times gets it mostly wrong again in its editorial, Detained in Libya. A Libyan militia has detained four officials of the International Criminal Court since Thursday on spurious charges. They should be released immediately. The Times is probably right as far as it goes. ICC officials should be treated with respect. But here’s […]

I was amused about the comments of a US general who was fired for inappropriate comments in public about the Afghan government: In a recent interview with the website Politico, Fuller characterized Afghan leaders as erratic, ungrateful and isolated from reality. The interview quotes him as saying Afghan leaders don’t fully recognize America’s sacrifices on […]

There has begun the usual gloating about how intervention is great – look Gadhafi is out! Well, it’s great Gadhafi is out. However, a bad idea is still a bad idea whether it works or not. A few bank robbers get away with it but that is not a recommended way to earn extra income! […]

I have blogged on this before and had the honor and privilege of asking Ambassador Bolton the question: Could the ICC arrest Gadhafi when Libya did not ratify the Rome Treaty? Won’t this place US officials at risk? The ambassador said yes the ICC will be used against us. Today, the ICC did issue an […]

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is, like the EU and much about the UN in general, is NOT our friend. It must be stopped. President Clinton actually signed the Rome Treaty establishing the ICC but did not send it to the Senate for potential rejection. It would have been rejected. President George W. Bush rescinded […]
