NOT WORTH THE BONES OF A SINGLE POMERANIAN GRENADIER :

US threatens Balkan pull-out over world court (Judy Dempsey, June 27 2002, Financial Times)

The US has threatened to pull out of the Balkans if the United Nations fails to grant its peacekeeping troops blanket immunity from prosecution when the treaty for the new international criminal court comes into force on Monday.

(a) What the Hell are we still in the Balkans for anyway?
(b) Why were we ever there? The Europeans think they are a serious player on the world stage but they can't even deal with this problem without us?
(c) Is it even constitutional for us to participate in a World Court? Posted by Orrin Judd at June 30, 2002 7:59 PM
