U.S. Drops U.N. Bid for War Crime Shield
According to the GigHarbor Portal and Associated Press the US has retracted its resolution to shield US troops from prosecution for war crimes. As many would expect this was prompted by the publicity of the Abu Ghraib scandal.
This is a must read. Click the link and check out the story. One more reason why the US needs to get the hell out of the UN and stop involving them in anything we do.
As I am sure the Oil for Food investigation will show the UN is every bit as corrupt as many have suspected.
I never did understand why you would put so much control in a governing body that doesn't control anything. Every nation votes for what they want and in the end the US foots the bill.
I think the UN is nothing more than a global mafia with aspirations of being crooked global cops. I hope one day that events like this one will prompt the US to say goodbye to the United Nations, retract our money and let the organization crumble.

The US is prevented by law from participating in an action which could allow members of the Armed Forces from being prosecuted by foreign powers and/or courts (Like the ICC). I believe that law passed in 02.
Concur with your opinion of the UN. Boot them out.
