so is this another game of double standards set by the u.s?

Question

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6703587.stm
why is this case so important to the u.s. Is it beacuse the dictators the u.s have supported and put in power in the past have not been charged with any crime, i.e, general pinnocet,macos's of philipines,shah of iran, the saudis,columbian president, etc,all of whom hve commited war crimes and hve killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people.So why is this case so important to the u.s that they had to push other countries to push for a U.N trial,after all it was only one guy that got killed not hundreds of thousands that have died in the illegal invasion of iraq. In the worlds opinion the real war criminals are bush,cheney, rumsfeld,rice and the other nations that have allied with the u.s in the invasion of iraq.what do people think?

Answer 1

America gets away with its double standards because no one else in the world is strong enough to do anything about it.

Being the worlds only superpower means that it can get away with thing which other less powerful counties get condemned for, its almost imperialism .

America always tries to justify its self with labels .like war on terror. war on Communism war of drugs.. In fact its just cynical self interest..

Answer 2

this question has many erroneous and ignorant factors. permit me take you thru them. a million. Rodger's talk? the guy is the present MVP of the league, has the utmost passer score of all time and in straight forward terms became the ball over 6 circumstances, on a landing:interception ratio of seven:a million. Your hating. 2. The Giants replaced into the comparable team that Rodgers positioned 38 factors on in the previous in the season. 37-20 isnt a whooping, im particularly valuable Rodgers has defeated your typical team faster or later in the final 3 years. Dont hate. 3. Rodgers didnt play badly against the Giants. He didnt omit any receivers. there have been various drops, to boot as 2 fumbles by skill of the halfbacks and he nevertheless passes 2 touchdowns. the pastime replaced into point at a million/2 time and his quarterback score replaced into favorable. 4. It isnt logical to whinge approximately somebody simply by fact they are only stable at their job. Infact, its particularly lame. If he's sort a million in this checklist, human beings will many times admire that simply by fact he merits it. He won 13 video games, extra advantageous than the different quarterback, handed 40 5 touchdowns and performed in the back of a 5th around rookie left handle. Is that no longer stable adequate for you?

Answer 3

I think you're amazingly naive and need to learn to think for yourself.

The US didn't need to push anybody for this, they were all for it from the start.

The US didn't put any of those people in power, they did that on their own. The best you can come up with is that the US supported the lesser of two evils, which is a choice I'm sure we'll be forced to make again.

Finally, the US action in Iraq is not illegal. No party with any jurisdiction in the matter has ruled it so.. you might want to look that little fact up.

Answer 4

The U.S. are not governed by their President, the Congress or the Judiciary. It's governed by landless wild capitals. Authorities are just theirs puppets. Wishes of power, richness and wealth are insatiable. The U. S. is their operation base. Them made the best choice. And keep Americans compfortables and frightened.

"In the worlds opinion the real war criminals are bush,cheney, rumsfeld,rice and the other nations that have allied with the u.s in the invasion of iraq.what do people think?"

Why don't you ask the Kurds in Iraq? They love George Bush. It sounds as if you have listened to biased news sources.

Answer 6

Too funny....where's your facts and sources please. Forget all the ranting and get down to facts and reputable sources. Then you can get a better picture then what Fox and other media sources gives the average American. You see I am not an average American when come to researching the truth and nothing else, I will not be convinced by the media.

Answer 7

You did read the part where it said that Mr. Hariri was the prime minister of Lebanon? If somebody assassinated the president of the US (or the prime minister of Great Britain, if you're British), I'll bet you'd be the first in line to scream for his blood.

Answer 8

HEY! if ur the type of person who believes that the USA should set the same standards for itself as it does for other countries and set an example for the rest of the world, feel free to get out of this country. i'd suggest canada. ive never been there myself, but ive heard theyre a bunch of commie whackos up there so im sure you'd fit right in.

you obviously are not a patriot!

Answer 9

Politics. Its a way of getting at Syria

Answer 10
