Oh Me of Little Faith - theCardinal on International Law

I would not necessarily classify myself as a John Bolton type but I am skeptical of international law. You don't need to look any further than the trial of former Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic to see why. Milosevic is obviously a war criminal of that there is little doubt. Then why is it that he has essentially been on trial since 2002? If it is this hard to keep an unrepentant genocidal maniac behind bars then how hard would it be to put someone like Fidel Castro in prison if he was ever deposed? The answer of course you wouldn't. After witnessing this farce perhaps the US should sign on to the ICC - if any 19 year old soldier would ever be charged he'd be a card carrying AARP member before standing trial.
