When a country tries this hard to avoid even the possibility of prosecution in the International Criminal Court, it’s easy to be left wondering what it is they have to hide. Surely if we are to believe the standard image of our glorious defenders here and in our closest ally, the people of Britain wouldn’t expect any of our allies’ troops to ever commit acts which would land them in the ICC. So what’s the problem?

After the string of allegations which emerged a couple of weeks ago regarding British troops, I’m left wondering how long it’ll be before our government starts following its spiritual leader’s guide.
