International Judicial Lunacy
This is a prime example of why we should never ever submit to being ruled by the international court in the Hauge. Every loony lawyer in the world can tie up an American court because of stupidity, but look at what is being proposed for the international court. All the Islamofacist sympathisers are lineing up.

Saddam to sue Bush and Blair
Jan. 25, 2006 at 12:01PM
Defence lawyers for Saddam Hussein Wednesday distributed copies of a lawsuit against President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair for destroying Iraq.
The suit accuses Bush and Blair of committing war crimes by using weapons of mass destruction and internationally-banned weapons including enriched uranium and phosphoric and cluster bombs against unarmed Iraqi civilians, notably in Baghdad, Fallujah, Ramadi, al-Kaem and Anbar.
The Amman-based legal team had said Sunday that the ousted president intended to start legal action against the two leaders of the Iraq war in the International Criminal Court in the Hague, but the text of the suit was made available Wednesday.
The suit also accuses the U.S. president and British prime minister of torturing Iraqi prisoners, destroying Iraq's cultural heritage with the aim of eliminating an ancient civilization, and inciting internal strife.
Bush and Blair were also accused of polluting Iraq's air, waters and environment.
The lawsuit demanded that Bush and Blair appear before court to answer the charges filed against them and requested the harshest punishment in line with Dutch legislation and the rules of international and humanitarian laws.
It also requested compensation for all material and moral damage inflicted on the Iraqi people.
This is absolutely absurd and anyone with half a mind can see this. However just watch all the leftist with an axe to grind calling for President Bush and Prime Minister Blair to be convicted, yet nothing about the atrocities in the Sudan , North Korea, Africa (by U.N. personel), Iran, Cuba, Lybia, just to mention a few. Where are these self rightouse lawyers on those issues? No where to be found when there are real atrocities to prosecute.
