Should the US be tried by the ICC to arrange the size of the reparations owed?

Question

The US invasion of Iraq has been proven to have had no basis on self defense. Iraq was never a threat to US security (I would like proof otherwise). Based on the Nuremberg Tribunal and the UN Charter, a war of aggression is the highest crime in international law. The perpetrator is responsible for "all the evil that follows". Are we ready to step up an international campaign to make the US government accountable for its violations of international law?

"The Nuremberg judgment, encoded into international law, is sharp and clear. Aggression is the 'supreme international crime,' differing from others in that it encompasses all the evil that follows; all the evil. The US-UK invasion of Iraq is a textbook example of aggression, as defined by US Justice Robert Jackson in opening the Tribunal, also encoded into international law. Justice Jackson's final words were also sharp and clear. We are handing those convicted at Nuremberg a "poisoned chalice," and if we sip from it, we must be judged by the same principles, or else the proceedings are no more than farce. One prime responsibility of an aggressor is to hold the perpetrators accountable. If state power is unwilling to meet this responsibility, it falls to others to do so: to the citizens of the country carrying out the crimes, more than any others."

Answer 1

They have always been a threat...WTF are you talking about? stupid liberal.... Saddam killed millions of his own, and had terrorist camps in northern Iraq... Not to mention he had all the chemicals and means to MAKE WMD's. He may not have had them on hand, but he had the means.... But yea, i forgot, your right, Iraq was never any threat by any means.... Go back under your rock... we like u under there much better

Answer 2

We have been at war with radical Islam since Iran took our embassy people hostage during the Carter administration. We chose to ignore this disease known as international terrorism for decades. We finally realized that we are at war after the attack on 9/11. The only reason it ended up in Iraq right now is Saddam overplayed his hand. He would still be in power if he had cooperated with the UN inspectors. He liked making everyone believe he had horrible weapons. After 9/11 we could not take the chance that he did and might provide the technology to terrorists. Since we were still at war with Iraq since Dessert Storm, we took the opportunity to take out his perceived threat.

The terror supporting countries in the region realize the threat to them that a Free Iraq would pose, have been supporting the insurgency with money and sophisticated weapons. The disease of fundamentalist Islam tyranny cannot abide the cure that liberty brings to the long suffering people of the Middle East.

We make no apologies for defending liberty. We stand in opposition to those who wish us ill. The aggressor chooses the means of his own destruction at our hand.
