Thanks for the :) Jack. I needed that.

I was disappointed, although not surprised, that the US airmen who killed four Canadian soldiers and wounded eight others in the recent 'friendly fire' incident in Afghanistan will not face court-martial for their deadly, drug-induced (?) error of judgement. Information here. Of course, this was the decision of an American court.

It seems that the creation of the International Criminal Court couldn't have been more timely. Now, if it could be backed up by a viable system of enforcement and deterrence provided by the international community and not just the Americans, maybe some real progress could be made in reducing criminal military activities and other so-called "accidents".
