In the grand scheme of things, this matters not a bit. the UN is a meaningless organization run by half-wits, anti-semites, cowards & terrorists.
Yeah thats why Bush had to back - Afr if your so against ICC and the UN why don't you leave both.
At the end of the day - one thing is for sure the US will think twice before sending their troops to other parts of the World - and they'll not get away with abusing again.
So that has to be a good thing - I CAN'T SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO FEAR, FROM THE ICC - Heres some of the Judges
