This brings up thoughts of prior debates on whether or not US citizens are subject to the International Court. We (the US) are making a habit of forcing our laws on other countries, but yet we are not subject to the laws of an established INTERNATIONAL court; one who's laws are created from a consensus of people of many nations and backgrounds. The hypocrisy of the "Bush Doctrine" is simply mind-boggling. -Adam On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 06:31:16 -0500 (CDT), "J.A. Terranson" <measl@mfn.org> said:

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander, right? The US can go after BL for not following US [constitutional] law, so why can't he come after us for not following Shariah (or any other) law?
This is but one of the many fatal flaws in the Bush Doctrine of nation-building.
