This is what you hear from skat kid on the war crimes currently going on under qaddhafi.
But that damn W, he should be hauled away and flogged in Brussels!
So the U.S. and Libya are on the same moral plane?
So a "moral plane" is the standard we're going to use in trying someone.
So in the skat kid (arrrrr!) world, since I've never gotten more than a speeding ticket, I should face harsher penalties for jaywalking than a serial rapist.
This is why the radical left shouldn't ever have any power. Law is not an even playing field, its a tool to be dished out at their whim.
Are you trying to set a record for straw men built in one post?
I think Gaddafi should face a trial for Human Rights abuses and War Crimes in front of The Hague. Just like Sadaam should have been. Just like anyone else should be. The U.S., however, feels that the ICC is an affront to sovereignty and so while most of Bush's government (and likely Obama's) will fear travel abroad in their retirement, the U.S. continues a "do as I say not as I do" which weakens their position internationally to take China, Russia, Venezuela or one of the many other 1st word nations that have even worse human rights records.
The power of non-violent political movements is incredible and terrorism is definitely on the decline as a result. Bush's freedom rhetoric was right after all. Unfortunately, his strategic thinking, and the subordinates tasked with implementing it, were incredibly bad.
