Man, you make it look like our education system over here is worse than theirs! Learn how to spell

How do you propose that the International Warcrimes Tribunal (I presume that this is what you refer to) be empowered?By giving it an army? The UN has one, and it's still a toothless tiger. By getting superpowers to back and fund it? It would become a pawn of those who back it (most likely USA and the B.R.I.C.s). How mate? Tell me how.

1. you probably didn't watch the entire speech.

2. you've never studied speech, thus you don't understand what a lead-in is.

The world court in Hague should be made powerful so as to bring real justice to the world! Punish those leaders that have done injustice to their people or other countries! The Rule of laws must prevail and not the rule of the jungle!! International Laws must be uphold! Then this world will be at peace! SIMPLE

Listen I am all for the forum and discussion on the issues are great. However, while other presidents/prime ministers are at Davos talking Obama is at his office working on the issues....He's serious about creating solutions!!

Please stop this none sense. I live in US, and I totally disagree with you. you should "I live in a country where debt is much more than the savings." Most of my friend have no savings at all and you telling me this is good? Having more credit or loans is the problem of this country in the first place.
