When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.

As long as we don't commit crimes against humanity, we have no logical reason to fear the United Nations verbally "stripping" our power, especially because you've mentioned we're in essence the muscle of the United States. Furthermore, we don't lose control to the United Nations because we're only joining a court to prosecute human rights. We're not suddenly giving our military to UN control or adopting special laws to meet the standards of the UN, merely sitting in a court. It's comprimable to global jury duty. The fact that we would be subjecting ourselves to a court run by the UN, is nearly the exact same thing as saying the UN has the right to pass judgment and enforce their will on the US. And with the other points, it was blatantly obvious to everyone in the world that Saddam had committed crimes against humanity. But you are telling me, that simply because the US was using a different reason than that to go against him, that they would turn a blind eye to it? What sort of court designed to protect human rights would do that? Where was the UN doing anything meaningful about those crimes before the US got pissed at him? How could anyone respect an organization like that?
