Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses?

No stupid questions, but certainly stupid answers.

The USA is not a part of the international criminal court. So even if the ICC said the US committed war crimes, they have no way to enfore those laws in the USA.

ICC is for states that can't prosecute within their country. USA can do that. So it goes like this:

ICC: Hey, USA, you committed war crimes

USA: We dont recognize your court of law, and we did our own investigation where we found no wrongdoing.

ICC: We disagree

USA: Okay, that's nice. If you arrest Bush we will invade the Hague

Stalemate.

Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?

Its still early. This is the first time there has been a legitimate alternative to reddit and thats honestly only because 3rd party apps like sync have made it usable.

Reddit started when Digg changed its site and everyone went to reddit. There has also been multiple attempts to leave reddit, but no similar alternatives. Now there is a good alternative and there will be more things reddit does that will make people look for alternatives.

I mean how bout a source buddy?

Heres what they say on their website. "As a court of last resort, it seeks to complement, not replace, national Courts."

Perhaps we interpret that differently, or I could have described it better.

You just come in here, take one sentence, call it false, and leave? Come on mannnnn.

I hace PTSD from that one. Now another one has been added. Sometimes when I exit from driving the tank the controller doesnt stop vibrating. Not even loading a save fixes it. You have to get back in the truck.

Its weird that all the youtube people are talking about how they fixed the game. They did that a few months after the release. Now its worse than it was before the phantom liberty release

3 lies being told right now about Palestine

Listen, I'm not islamic so I'm sure ill be dismissed, but why lie about it? There is more than enough evidence to prove 2 out of 3 of these, and 1 of them is irrefutable evidence.

Now, I'm not here to justify anything. The whole israel palestine situation is totally fucked. In fact, i'll say it now. To deny food and water is akin to the ghettos of the holocaust and I don't know how any Jew can stand for it. But Hamas has a very specific goal of killing all Jews and the last time that happened, it resulted in a holocaust.

I wish the world could agree that they're both wrong

Something Mysterious Appears to Be Suppressing the Universe's Growth, Scientists Say

You are correct and I misremembered it. "The Big Freeze" and "Heat Death" are the same thing. Thats when everything expands until there is no more heat.

If someone knows the correct terms for what I am talking about please let me know. Let me explain further.

What I am talking about is the opposite of heat death, which is somehow in my mind at a hot death? Basically, where everything goes back to one singularity instead of expanding forever.

'I just find bombs, dead people... it's really scary' - British Palestinian girl in Gaza

Reply in thread

People need to relate. It's easier for the West to relate to a british person than a Palestinian person. It's hard to relate to just Palestinian because a significant amount is a part of Hamas, and Hamas wants me dead because I am not Muslim. Hamas was democratically elected. That means a majority of Palestinians think their way is the right way. That little british-palestinian didn't vote for Hamas. I can relate to her. It's hard to relate to people that democratically elected a group that wants to kill me.
