Ever since the war crimes exemption rule for countries was introduced into the United Nations rulebooks, the US government has applied annually for the exemption and has gotten it successfully every year. But now this may change. With the Al Ghraib prison abuse scandal inflaming a new debate, United Nations head Koffi Annan is headspearing his new campaign to revoke any chance the American military has of getting war crimes immunity in the coming years... Source: http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/06/18/annan.us....reut/index.html I agree with Annan.
Yea, and while their at it, maybe they can do something about Iraq and the abductions of US civilians....also that little decapitation bit going on. is Iraq even represented in the U.N.? I can't remember.

It's about time. I hope they will not have to be judged for war crimes, however I think no nation should be exempted. By the way, the world's worst dictatorship can make it into the U.N. Show some fake willingness to cooperated and you're in.
