The War Crimes Act (1996) makes violation of various Hague, Geneva and Nuremburg protocols and treaties a United States federal offense. Who, then, can bring American war criminals to trial in a U.S. court? Please limit your answer to American courts! International tribunals cannot enforce U.S. law and do not have any jurisdiction over U.S. citizens, nor can they impose the death penalty, which is authorized by the War Crimes Act. While U.S. military personnel are subject to the UCMJ, a different federal law that also outlaws war crimes, that law does not apply to civilians. Note that the present Attorney General believes that the War Crimes Act does apply to officials of the U.S. government, but if the Justice Department will not proscecute them, who else can bring charges? If a federal grand jury can bring charges, how can ordinary citizens cause such a grand jury to be empaneled? I repeat, international tribunals are irrelevant to this question; do not bother mentioning them.

The Internet seems like a real hotbed of libertrian philosophy. Libertarians have sometimes been described as 'Republicans who want to smoke pot'. ;-) The problem is that, while full of theories and good-sounding ideas, no libertarian form of gov't has ever existed. It really seems like a stable society always need a strong central authority. A power vacuum will always be filled by someone. If there was even 1 town, one city council in the whole country that successfully implemented libertarian ideals into a working gov't system, people might be more open to it. Don't you think *some* kind of track record would be good before you run a candidate for President?

If somebody opposes Bush, some people say they are "Terrorist Sympathizers."

What about this?

BTW - this is the first time in history the Joint Chiefs have publicly opposed their Commander in Chief.

If heroin was decriminalised/legally registered throughout this world..a Brave Government decision by all accounts..Do you think the economies of Afghanistan,Pakistan et al,would fail to provide funds needed by terrorists to be active? I realise that the Fear Factory has reason for this not to be..junkies being useless attention-seeking pieces of shite..but the bucket goes to the well..Who decides who drinks?

He's an actor, not an expert on global warming. Why do these Hollywood types think they have to have a "cause"? Are they that insecure in their chosen career? Do they feel useless? Do he and Oprah and Rosie feel better now that thousands of you agree with them? Meryl Streep thinks she's an expert on the apple growing industry. Congress actually let her testify, and it turned out she didn't have a clue what she was talking about. Why do so many of you try to boost their egos even further by responding to their questions? I know it's asking a lot, but I would prefer to hear from people with common sense.
