The Joy of international clemency for the would be criminal leaders: The International Criminal Court selective justice?
"After this warrant, it is all irrelevant. We cannot negotiate with war criminals," Jalal al-Galal, spokesman of the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) told Reuters."
No need to go into the criminal prospects list for who should be joining him, but let us say that they would need a prison larger than the one in Cuba and the the citizens of countries where their heads of state will be detained will be obliged to hold emergency elections. Can you imagine the mayhem?
It would be a crisis with astronomical proportions and the world that we live will go into a total makeover mode.
And since America having artificially immune itself from such indictments, we can be assured that Americans would continue to be the gatekeepers of imperial style justice-- helping out by advising on who (other then themselves) should be going to the Hague or be kidnapped in illegal renditions.
A lot can be ascertain from reading a small sampling coming from anonymous citizens blogging on the world wide web:
- "there should be an arrest warrant on Obama, for being a liar and breaking laws of this country".
- "Last year You were Kadhafi "friend". Lies upon lies and more lies put upon Gaddaffi. Try to kill him with bombs. American people sees right through the lies leaders continue to tell us. Another Saddam, Ahmadinejad, Bin Ladden now Kadhafi. Truth knocks the brains out of falsehood...."
- "The same court issued an arrest warrant for Bush and Cheney...what a joke.!"
- "Gaddaffi names will continue reign as one of the African freedom fighter,,in the history of Neo Black Movement of Africa..no matter what the ICC or NATO,USA,UK AND FRANCE did..but for Barrack Obama..his names will not be included despite he is a Black President..."
And here's one more sampling, among thousands of a seemingly silent majority:
- "When the US shot its own citizens in protests at Kent State where was this court issuing arrest warrants on Nixon? Now that the US, France and England have killed 10 times more civilians than Gaddaffi why isn't Sarkozy, Cameron and Obama..."
This is no apologist article for the unjust acts of dictators and the brutal rule of some, but it is meant to serve as a reminder about the proverbial idiom where it states "the pot calling the kettle black" --a situation in which somebody comments on or accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser(s) share(s).
The very least outcome that should come from this indictment is an international consensus on the correct spelling of the man's name.
