Your observation there is no war IS irrelevant

Its a legal point, and the reason for introducing the Japanese
premptive strike was that after the war your country used that
to prosecute the Japanese.

The reasons why America refuses to accept an international
criminal court to deal with these problems is clear. You are
the criminals.

Well, that does it for me. If there was ever the slightest doubt why the
U.S. has not signed on to the Uropeen IKK, there exists none now. Not
even a
glimmer.

International not Euopean.

Not from my perspective. It's merely a continuation of the Uropeen Diplomacy
model designed to hamstring the powerful and level the playing field for the
has beens. That model is in failure mode and is no longer appropriate as is
the U.N. The U.N. as an international forum for mediation has failed. It
sucks up a tremendous amount of resources and provides a platform for the
worlds despots with little to show for the effort; IOW, just more jawboning
lawyers and politicians. I doubt the new world order will be as you have
envisioned it.
