ICC are like the weapons inspectors in Saddam's Iraq, a Western tool for neo-colonialism. The USA sends 4 billion dollars worth of weapons to Israel to bomb innocent civilians, why don't they send just two hundered million dollars to build hospitals and schools for Darfuris?
US and west only interested in colonizing third world countries.

Well Hell. Then the next arrest warrant should be issued for the Bush administration. Because he invaded a country and committed war crimes against iraq and also for the murder of thousands of american soldiers. His ass deserves to go to jail too. They are not above the law either. It would clearly send a message that Heads of state can not do shit like this and get away with it. The world doesnt need dictators.
