Perhaps it's the closest we can get to a global democracy. Do people in other parts of the world not get a vote?

Did you read what I wrote? How does the representative of say, China, the representative of the chinese dictatorship, not the elected representative of the chinese people, constitute the "closest we can get to a global democracy" -- it has nothing to do with democracy!

How so? And do you not think that American soldiers should be subject to war crimes trials? Or are we supposed to believe that American courts martial can be trusted to take care of it? Take a look at gitmo before you answer that one.

Have no idea what you're talking about re Gitmo -- the only thing of significance to happen there recently is islamic and arab-american soldiers acting as spies against the U.S. The last ACTUAL U.S. war criminal was Sergeant Calley in the Vietnam War who was duly tried and convicted in a U.S. court marshall.
