Bush is the Reason Why Nothing is Being Done About Sudan

This is rich.

Because Bush won't support the International Criminal Court, it is the equivalent of him blocking prosecution of the genocide in Sudan. Talk about a stretch. They seem to be missing a point though. Since the UN has just come out reporting that the fighting in Sudan is not genocide, I don't see that there would be any move toward prosecution.

They also fail to discuss the fact that the court is heavily flawed with one major complaint of the total lack of oversite. Just what we need, another UN like body that ends up corrupt.

And this bit of rhetoric is precious, but wrong.
"The I.C.C. could start tomorrow saving lives," said Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch. "With the Rwanda tribunal route, you're talking about another year of killing."
The ICC wouldn't save any lives. They would start with meetings to figure out who is at fault and then they can do indictments, but actually getting the people for trial is highly improbable. So, how long would it take them to write their reports and publish their findings, but not actually stop anything? Last I saw, you have to have someone to enforce laws, and the UN just can't seem to do that.

Frontpagemag.com has an article discussing the findings of the UN and how worthless they really are.

Bush is the source or supporter of ALL evil, big or small, anywhere on the planet. If you stubbed your toe on the way into the shower this morning, it's Bush's fault. Of course, since he's so stupid, it's really all Karl Rove's fault, with a lot of help from Dick Cheney.

Really, how many times does this have to be explained to you before you get it? Sheesh.

OK OK. I have a short memory. I'll try and remember next time.
