Don, the *big* problem with international criminal courts for criminals on the level of Saddam Hussein is sadly the US. And more specifically, US actions in Vietnam. If this kind of court was ever set up, then Kissinger and many other top government and military folks would be first on the list for war crimes.

It's an interesting list, the countries who say they won't ever sign up to the International Criminal Court unless their citizens/armies/governments are immune to prosecution. Major omissions are North Korea, China, Israel and the US. Draw your own conclusions from that.
