Criminals Rule the Roost
Source: Alalam.ir, 19-7-2008
George W. Bush is responsible for the massacre of over one million Iraqis, whose country the Yankees have unlawfully occupied and refuse to leave. The US President is also in occupation of Afghanistan, where his trigger-happy forces routinely butcher civilians with sadistic relish.
In addition, he has ordered his naval armada to disturb the peace of the Persian Gulf, and openly threatens to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran when Iranian troops could nowhere be found near the borders of the US - neither in Canada, nor in Mexico, and not even off the coast of Florida in Cuba.
Yet despite his crimes against humanity that includes the subhuman prisons in Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other torture cells around the world, he remains free.
The illegal Zionist entity continues its organized genocide of the Palestinians, a major part of whose lands it has usurped since 1948 and likes to call it "Israel". It recognizes no law and subjects the sons of the soil to the most inhuman treatment - bulldozing their houses, destroying their farmlands, and depriving them of basis necessities - as is the case in besieged Gaza.
This racist entity possesses an arsenal of over 200 nuclear warheads, has scant regard for the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and issues threats, almost daily, of attacking Iran's peaceful IAEA-supervised atomic installations.
But, let alone any action by the UN or its specialized agencies, the Zionists remain immune from Security Council resolutions, thanks to godfather US and other self-imposed permanent members armed with the questionable power of veto.
If such is the sorry state of affairs of our world, what purpose does the International Criminal Court (ICC) serves? Why was it set up in 2002 with such bombastic phrases in its charter: to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression?
On closer scrutiny we find the ICC as nothing but a mere tool of the big bad bullies, like all other UN affiliates.
The IAEA cannot inspect the atomic installations of the usurper state of "Israel", cannot ask the US and other dangerously-armed countries to comply with NPT rules and dismantle their doomsday arsenals.
What it does, is to bend to the dictates of the chief culprits by politicizing Iran's peaceful nuclear activities.
The ICC is behaving in like manner and has gone a step further to discredit itself. Unable to bring to justice such avowed enemies of humanity as US president, George W. Bush and the ringleaders of the illegal Zionist entity it has veered off the course.
As a matter of fact it has tarnished the commendable work it had done in bringing to justice Serbia's mass murderer, Slobodan Milosevic, by issuing a weird indictment against Sudanese president, Omar Hasal al-Bashir for the crisis in Darfur that has been created by the West, because of Khartoum's refusal to kowtow to Uncle Sam.
ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo's framing up of al-Bashir is highly politicized and has been sharply condemned by the African Union, the Arab League, and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
It is another question whether Sudan's chief partners in industrial, defence and developmental projects, China and Russia, will block any warrant against Bashir at the UN Security Council, but what is deplorable is the lethargic attitude of the Arab League, the African Union and the OIC, which allowed an entirely inter-Muslim affair to spiral out of control to the benefit of the West.
The West is trampling justice. On one hand it has supplied weapons to both sides to aggravate the crisis between Muslims of African and Arab origin by making the people of Darfur homeless refugees, and on the other hand its missionaries are doling out free food and shelter to theses displaced people by forcing them to convert to Christianity.
So who should be indicted? George Bush and the ringleaders of the Zionists, of course.
If the ICC is powerless to book these criminals, it better wind up, instead of violating its own charter by looking for easy prey.
