ICC: Is there a Bite that goes with the Bark?


So if Omar al-Bashir (President of Sudan) is actually indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) by Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo, then what?

If the Three-Panel group of International judges puts out a warrant for the butcher of Christians (Southern Sudan) and Black African Muslims (Darfur), will al-Bashir turn himself in for trial? Only if he is a moron.

There is a difference between being moronic and evil; al-Bashir is evil.

The only way to force a political leader out of leadership is by invasion. Will the United Nations Security Council order such a military action for the genocidal al-Bashir? Heck no! The Security Council did nothing to remove the Butcher of Baghdad and the Security Council is doing nothing about Hezbollah slowly usurping the democratically elected government of Lebanon. And the Security Council is doing nothing about Hezbollah’s surrogates Syria and Iran which are financing and arming Hezbollah.

And talking of Iran, the Security Council is doing zilch to prevent the psycho-Shi’ites of Iran from attaining weapons grade uranium (or plutonium or whatever it’s called) to make nuke WMD’s.

So hurray for Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo; however if there is only bark and no bite, al-Bashir will keep killing millions of his citizens with impunity.
