The United States on Monday will adopt an aggressive posture against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, threatening sanctions against its judges if they proceed with an investigation into alleged war crimes committed by Americans in Afghanistan.

taliban ruled afghanistan before 9/11 and taliban rules afghanistan today - the natural order has been restored and all the middle east shenanigans be it afghanistan or iraq or libya or syria were all guided by misguided people who wanted to change middle east to western standards, which I viewed as an impossible thing and never cared about that region anyway - I also thought western europe taking in people from that region was a stupid idea because the middle east is so immature and all the intervention didnt change the middle east

in short the middle east has its own problems and will mature on its own or not - a part of america cared about middle east after 9/11 but 9/11 is a long time ago now and the world paradigm has changed - the future is china and bush and obama didnt do anything that wasnt typical westernization stuff
