Now that the ICC is operational, consider that the first victim is a militia man. His guilt is that he founded a militia, trained the recruits, and that they fought in a civil war.
The first case is a man like Ed Brown in Plainfield, New Hampshire. Not a ruling elite of Arabia, Syria, Iran, or the evil North Korea. Nothing is more criminal than a man who fights against the government.
Child abuse is to teach boys how to shoot and he trained 30,000 of them. Imagine 30,000 American boys carrying their rifles to school again as they once did.
"The ICC prosecutors' indictment said the children, who often joined the militia because of their desperate need for food or desire to avenge their murdered families, were subject to systematic military training and severe discipline."
Too bad there are not 30,000 armed and disciplined boys in the Netherlands.
