Er, what now?
America acting like it owns the place?
This is news?
The message on the other side of this sig is false.
The US is the major innovator and inventor in the world. Hundreds of countries livelihood is entirely dependent on the ongoing success of our economy. Our illness-fighting drugs are the lifeblood of many developing nations. Our military inventions save the lives of thousands of lives everytime our soldiers go into the field. The list is too long to do justice to in a single commented paragraph such as this, but suffice it to say...
...Our economic base is slowly deteriorating from the "producer" of worldwide products, and is moving more towards "services" based offerings. A sad reality, but a fact we must become accustomed to nonetheless.
You can be sure that the current Australian government will do anything the current US government wants.

I think it's more likely in the above case that France would see the advertised munitions and surrender.
Chuckle, chuckle. When was the last time you challenged a French soldier physically? Never? I thought so. The cheese-surrendering monkey stereotype is pretty passe, isn't it.
The French have a damn good military and technological base (in many ways better than the US). The frogs would have been much less of a whipping boy if they had just gone along with the US.
It's sad to see everyone jump on the bandwagon and dunp on the French, it just shows up the moronity of the typical ugly American.
Here we go again. Al Qaida under bin Laden did not only attack Americans, or only targets in America. He, as a terrorists, affects every citizen of the world and requires an international tribunal to try him. Why wouldn't Sudan get to try him, as he committed a crime in Sudan first? You'd probably like that.
Milosevic did not get extradited to Croatia for his crimes, but handed over to an international tribunal. Those were the crimes that took place in Croatia and Bosnia, not in the Hague. Funny that, he'll serve at least as much time as a result of the Hague ruling than he would have in Croatia, probably more. It just that with crimes against humanity, such as genocide, ethnocide and terrorism, the whole humanity gets to have a say.
No, because he would not be tried for attacking the United States and he would not be judged by the American people - he would be tried for the murder of almost 3,000 people in the United States, and he would be judged by trained and experienced legal professionals just like every other case in this country.
And we all know that trained and experienced legal professionals don't exist anywhere but in the US. Why would you give such a case to a bunch of savages from overseas (like French) when you can have impartial American professionals who will deal out just punishment?
Obviously, as in any other case, the judge would have to have had no personal involvement in the attacks. It's a judge's duty by law to be impartial; now, not all of them are, but I'd trust a US federal judge any day of the week over any international court, which these days would almost necessarily be comprised primarily of countries not friendly to us and in many cases openly sympathetic to bin Laden's cause.
But maybe you can send missionaries to colonise us savages from abroad, give us TV and coca-cola, and we might learn to read. With time, we might have a competent judge or two ourselves. Please educate us, great white man, because we are not worthy!
Don't you think, in the interest of fairness and justice, that Osama should be tried by an international court instead? Trying him in the US would be like letting the victim of an alleged crime be the judge of the accused.
Like the Nuremberg Tribunal? No, I think summary execution is probably going to occur if/when he is obtained. He will have been resisting. That will avoid the legal issues just fine.
