While the I.C.C. basically killed itself before it started by destroying its credibility in its total subservience to the U.S.--the country which did most to basically undermine the work of the International Criminal Court, and while the ICC can't be taken seriously as long as it will never be able to take on the country which has been committing the most war crimes since the end of the Cold War, the Sudanese dictator is one of the most repugnant religious demagogues out there. Whenever he faces a crowd, he resorts to religious chants that have no relevance whatever. I watched him on TV today leading a crowd with chants of God is Great.
