Give W Credit where it is due

George W Bush was evidently way smarter than he looked. It was a truly prophetic gesture to refuse to ratify the Rome Statute in 2002 which established the International Criminal Court in Hague, an international tribunal for persecuting war criminals. The USA is in great company here - other countries who refused to join the treaty were Israel, Russia and China. As a result, it turns out that Tony Blair can be tried as a war criminal for the act of aggression against Iraq (a violation of the international law), and W can't!

The movement to have Tony Blair tried as a war criminal is gaining steam in the UK - you can read more here.

Also today read a new article - brilliant and thought provocative as usual - by Paul Craig Roberts "Americans Are Hell-Bent of Tyranny."
