Obama Should Rejoin The International Criminal Court-Do You Agree?

    

Shortly after becoming president, one George W. Bush, quickly removed the signature of the United States (President Bill Clinton's signature) from the membership rolls of the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

 

Soon thereafter, Bush invaded and attacked Iraq, without sanction from the United Nations Security Council, and on his totally false pretenses and on his big lies about Iraq, thereby launching a War of Aggression, his Supreme Crime Against Humanity, making his invasion, occupation, and everything that followed, illegal and immoral as well.

 

The United States, a great nation of laws, not men, dedicated to the rule of law, where no one is above the law, starting with the president, and dedicated to their Constitution and their signed Treaties, requires that Bush bear full accountability and requires that Bush needs to be in the dock for his date with justice overdue.

 

Obama should rejoin the International Criminal Court in the Hague retroactive to the date Bush removed the signature of the United States from the membership rolls thereof.

 

Obama should bring Bush to justice overdue by indicting, charging, and prosecuting Bush on one or more of the following Nuremberg type war crimes: conspiracy to commit crimes alleged in other counts; crimes against peace; war crimes; and crimes against humanity.

 

  

NO, Obama should not rejoin the ICC
NOT sure
YES, Obama should rejoin the ICC
