Iraq can simply prevent any deaths of Iraqi people and destruction of their
infrasturction by ONE person following the compact that HE allowed to be
signed.

HE is the one person who can stop any and all actions. NO one else has
started anything. ONLY HE can stop it.

And for the ignorent ones, its not G W Bush.

Ken Hirsch points out:
>Negotiators were never able to agree on a definition of "aggression",
so the ICC does not currently have any jurisdiction over an alleged
crime of starting a war.


The deaths we inflict upon the Iraqis and damage to their infrastructure
would be the crimes, not the "starting" of the aggression.

I had a quick look at your link and found:  "The Court has jurisdiction in
accordance with this Statute with respect to the following crimes:
(a)     The crime of genocide;
(b)     Crimes against humanity;
(c)     War crimes;
(d)     The crime of aggression.".

Not had a chance to go through it in detail but doesn't point (d) cover what
I'm talking about? I admit that I could be wrong since I've only had a quick
look.
