One Worlders at Work!
There's nothing more useless than an online petition unless it is Amnesty International:
Amnesty International today launched a worldwide petition in response to US attacks against the new system of international justice.
New system of justice? I kinda liked the old system. Ah, "international justice". It's an oxymoron contest!
In recent months, the US has been approaching governments requesting them to enter into unlawful agreements that they will not surrender US nationals accused of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes to the new International Criminal Court.
Unlawful? I must have missed the section of the Constitution where they mentioned the International Criminal Court. Hmmm, it must the "law" of the UN bureaucrats and tin pot dictators. No thanks, donkeydips.
Amnesty International's petition -- http://web.amnesty.org/web/icc_petition.nsf -- calls on all states to refuse to sign such impunity agreements with the US.

The petition will be open for signature for one month and will be sent to governments worldwide. Signatures received by 27 September will also be sent to EU Ministers of Foreign Affairs in advance of their meet on 30 September to consider their position on the issue.
Don't you like the way the trendoids refer to immunity agreements as "impunity agreements"? Anyhow, don't forget to sign early and often. And catch the sob inducing picture of the US's empty chair at an ICC hoedown.

Q: What if they held a kangaroo court and no one came?
A: The bureaucrats would still collect their paychecks.
