Why can't America insist on the application of American principles in international law?

[rupol2000]

Heinous crimes have been proven in the Yugoslav Terrorism Tribunal, but the criminals have not received the death penalty. Why?

 

[WinterBorn]

We insist on our own principles in our own nation. We also recognize the sovereignty of other nations.

When Cheney gets hanged for Iraq, then come back here and ask that.

 

[rupol2000]

When Cheney gets hanged for Iraq, then come back here and ask that.

This has nothing to do with the destruction of Iraqi terrorists.

 

[WinterBorn]

This has nothing to do with the destruction of Iraqi terrorists.

If war crimes were committed they should be punished.

 

[rupol2000]

If war crimes were committed they should be punished.

War crimes were only on the part of Hussein.

This has nothing to do with the destruction of Iraqi terrorists.

The 250,000 Iraqi civilians that we killed were ALL terrorists?

i think it's a lie

 

[WinterBorn]

i think it's a lie

It was. That is why some want Cheney tried.

We insist on our own principles in our own nation. We also recognize the sovereignty of other nations.

Lol.

Yeah right.

What a hoot.

 

[rupol2000]

It was. That is why some want Cheney tried.

I think it's just stupid fantasies.

In fact, you should pay attention not to this, but to the crimes of Clinton in the former Yugoslavia. It is strange that he did not sit next to Mladic and Milosevic in the dock, is not it?

 

[rupol2000]

We insist on our own principles in our own nation. We also recognize the sovereignty of other nations.

But we are talking about international law.

So you say. But it is not American laws that are tried there.

 

[WinterBorn]

But we are talking about international law.

Yes, we are. And that is not run with American principles.

 

[rupol2000]

Yes, we are. And that is not run with American principles.

So,

Why can't America insist on the application of American principles in international law?​

 

[WinterBorn]

So,

Why can't America insist on the application of American principles in international law?​

Because other countries are also governed by those international laws. The US does not have the right or the power to decide for everyone else.

Why don't you apply American principles to Russian law? At least you might learn that way.

 

[Jaxson]

i think it's a lie

Ok, so what's your number of civilians killed in Iraq?

 

[rupol2000]

Ok, so what's your number of civilians killed in Iraq?

I don’t know. How many did Hussein kill?

In fact, I think that everything was in order there for several reasons.

Firstly, Reagan supported Iran against Iraq, this clearly indicates that Hussein was against the United States.

Secondly, Hussein occupied Kuwait before that, it was his aggression. And he's already been beaten.

Thirdly, Hussein is justified by the communists, which means he is a bad guy.

There was also a leftist war during Obama's time. Maybe it's about Obama's crimes?

 

[rupol2000]

Because other countries are also governed by those international laws. The US does not have the right or the power to decide for everyone else.

Why don't you apply American principles to Russian law? At least you might learn that way.

At the international level, America can insist on partial application of its principles

 

[WinterBorn]

At the international level, America can insist on partial application of its principles

On what grounds? The rule of international laws is not American law.
