Oh brother
. Belgium never charged the US. A complaint was made by a group of Iraqis in Belgium. Actually, the Belgian gouvernment said that because of the criteria, it would not be handeling the complaint and they send it to the US. If now the US is BS'ing about that, then they have nothing to BS about.
On topic. It seems sometimes to me that the US is afraid of having it citizens tried for international courts just because they might be found guilty. Would an American court really sentence one of their own soldiers (rethorical question) ? Maybe, probably. At least i'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But if you, on the one hand say to someone that they should do something but on the other hand you refuse to do the same, it does make you look a bit hypocritical.
