    Blame both sides for the DMCA. Every REPUBLICAN senator voted for that bill.

    So what I think doesn't count much. It's sad that if one plane had to miss on 9/11 it was the one that could have done some good.

    1) they are being treated fine...the international red cross says so.

    2) they have no rights under our system as they are housed on forgin soil and have never toutched our shores...there is a few court rulings on that one

    3) yes, US troops in the past were exempt from war crimes during UN missions, however, they were not exempt from US Millitary law, and Officers tend to realy take that crap seriously, especialy when we are not in a knock down drag out fight.

    and I do not know what the effect of being part of the world court will do, but I assume it will mean we will no longer have exemtions (Bush anounced we would sign the treaty before he spoke about Iraq at the UN)

    I'm so fucking sick of being a fucking US citezen, why couldn't i have been born in a properly functioning country, one where the people aren't so fucking lazy as to let the government run amok like this. I hate america, fuck america, fuck america in its ass till it bleeds! I know this is the wrong place for this, but i had to get it off my chest, i can only take so much of this garbage. I want everyone on the planet to know that i'm sick of fucking living here, and to those that think this is all perfecty OK, i hope someone fly's a jumbo jet into your naiborhood. In any decent run country A situation like this would have cuased such a public outcry the government would have to repeal such a law to prevent riots! Home of the brave, my ass. Home of the free, my ass.
