US attacked over UN resolution
US officials are objecting to a section of the resolution which refers to attacks on humanitarian workers as a war crime under the statutes of the newly-established International Criminal Court (ICC).
Washington does not recognise the court.
It also insists on either removing reference to it from UN resolutions or having paragraphs inserted that give immunity to nations like America that have not ratified the Rome Statute establishing the ICC.

Ya know, up until the election of 2000, I sincerely believed that my country was, by definition, the Good Guys. I find myself sadly unable to think that any more. The problem is, our President obviously does believe that, which is the source of a lot of our conflicts with the rest of the world.
