This is about arresting the culprits.

So America once again illegally bombed Iraq.

Should Joe Biden and his administration be prosecuted under international law?

Yay or Nay?
Just another reason we need Trump back to prevent Biden starting a big war and killing untold numbers of people.

Yes, the Biden administration should be brought before the ICC.

Paying Bail does not mean you get to skip the trial.

Biden should be impeached over this. It has nothing to do with protecting our border security and makes us less safe.

Agree, but will never happen.
The typical American:
A. Cant be bothered to care because they have internet, netflix and door dash (i.e. the bombs aren't raining down on their little bubble)
or
B. believes all the death and destruction on their dime is being done to benefit them

Trump launched the drone strike in Iraq that killed the top Iranian general.

I'm not saying that incident (or this one) were the right course of action, but how brain-dead politically biased do you have to be to point your finger at Biden and demanding Trump back when Trump did something far more provocative? I guess some folks are just so far gone on the blue versus red thing they are capable of suspending all common sense to cheer for a side now matter how ridiculous it makes them look.

I didn't vote in the poll because I do not know enough about the circumstances BUT it sure sounds like Biden bombed a country that we fought hard to be friends with. We have spent a lot of blood and money over there. How crazy is that? What is next for Biden? Will some of that Trillion dollar "infrastructure" bill be directed toward Iraq to rebuild what was destroyed?

Talk about a mixed message.



At least with Trump when he bombed you there was no chance that he would come around later and try to be your friend.

Neither the US nor China or Russia recognize the ICC.

The ICC is just a body where 3rd world war criminals get tried.

They should. So should Trump, Obama, Dubya and Clinton.

However they won't. Just like Putin or President Xi will never be prosecuted under international law.

We live in an age where none of the major powers believe that international law should constrain their narrow geopolitical interests.

So, in international relations we increasingly live in a world that is governed by the law of the jungle.

In this case Bush the elder has been proven decisively wrong when he believed 30 years ago that the "New World Order" would be governed by the Rule of Law.
We are heading in a "New World Order" alright. However that order will not be governed by the rule of law.
