New Time for the ICC to step in?
I suspect that this will probably be the first case brought before the new International Criminal Court. Be a great showcase to see how the ICC can (or can't) be used as a political instrument.

One other thought occurs to me. The U.S. did something similar when it tried to take out Qaddafi years ago - bombing his home, knowing that others would also be in and around the house - missing Qaddafi but killing several of his family members.

Qaddafi (your spelling, mileage may very, translated spellings can get strange) was *very* quiet after that.

We showed we were willing to use force and kill whoever we had to kill to get Q. We failed in our attempt, but the message was clear: "Mess with us, and you are messing with people crazier than you."

New Re: Kaddafi (Qadaffi, etc:)

The deceased were his 'adopted' children - what I call Arab propaganda - some poor kids died but the propaganda claimed they were his kids - facts conflicted so they became his 'adopted' children.

Arabs seem to so often spoil good facts with fiction & that results in their facts getting lost.

Message to Kaddafi was to stop supplying terrorists with arms & funds & it also included the IRA who he was aiding at that time.

Cheers

Doug

New How can the ICC put sharon in the doc without putting arafat
next to him? Both gave orders to others to attack. Both are documented. Would be a tad onesided I would think.
thanx,
