The ICC is going after Omar al-Bashir. That’s nice. Golly, that entire Darfur/Sudan hypocrisy is so post 9/11 untrendy. The dying in Darfur has been going on for an interminably long time and NOW the ICC is going after Sudan’s president? Wow, George Clooney must finally be getting some traction. Maybe it was Mia Farrow’s threat to use Blackwater. Yeah, that must have been the trigger. Golly Ms. Mia, what in the hell are you thinking?
So as with all things United Nations, it’s just a little too little and a lot too late. What about Gaza? What about the West Bank? What about Lebanon? Iraq? Afghanistan? Why isn’t Tony Blair standing in the dock at that old International Criminal Court? John Howard? George Bush and the grand puppet master Dick ‘shotgun’ Cheney? Talk about war criminals! Genocide, mass murder, torture, wholesale violations of basic human decency, and those nasty little wars of naked aggression that are so internationally illegal. Ah, it’s always the same old lame crap. It ain’t what you do, it’s who you screw! The ICC is to put the screws to the president of Sudan and genuine and for reals war criminals wander our suffering little blue planet without recrimination. Yup, sounds about hypocritically correct.
