Re: anti americanism fashionable
Jerrek,
That is such a nice summary of reasons why people dislike the US.
There is no international law? I guess the people at the international court of justice are just making things up in the war crime tribunals?
Geneva Convention?
Not for the people at Guantanamo Bay, as they are not prisoners of war, but illegal combatants, cought in the war on terrorism.
Kyoto?
Never mind the world is going to pots, blame the Chinese, Indonesians, Brazilians for burning trees. The US is per capita one of the largest contributors to Greenhouse gases but you can't be bothered to so anything about it, for fear of the economy.
And to top it off, you will not be held accountable for possible warcrimes committed by your soldiers. As a special court is being set up in The Hague to deal with war crimes anywhere in the world, you refuse to sign up, and use your wealth to coerce developing countries into signing treaties saying they won't deliver your soldiers to this court.
What's that? Covering your back for another unjust war for personal gain? Surely, you feel that war crimes must be prosecuted. Why not if they're committed by Americans?
