About the Book

On July 1, 2003, America’s unelected pseudo-president, George W. Bush, announced that he was cutting off all military aid to 35 countries that supported the International Criminal Court, set up in 2002 to try war crimes, because those countries refused to sign an exemption guaranteeing that no American would be tried for war crimes. When one country, Senegal, did sign Bush’s blackmail demand, the president of the International Federation of Human Rights denounced it for doing so. But Bush’s decision to place America above international law was not as incomprehensible as it seems. Bush has been indicted for war crimes in more than a dozen countries. Once out of office, unless Americans are exempt from prosecution for war crimes, he will be unable to travel anywhere outside of America without being arrested and handed over to the International Court. He has to preempt such a possibility, for the same reason Adolf Hitler would have tried to exempt Germans from prosecution on the same charge.
