Basically, the position you seem to be advocating is that in international law, might makes right.

Not that I'm necessarily disagreeing, just clarifying.

We are against the ICC, because we want to have the freedom to commit war crimes (as defined by the ICC), to pursue our national goals by force:

The ICC would most likely wind up allowing such a "responsible" world leader as Roberto Mugabe to file motions against US citizens and have them "stick". You think I'm joking... this is a world where Libya heads a UN human rights abuse commission (it takes one to know one on that.)
