Bolton should know better

OK, I know outgoing US ambassador to the UN John Bolton is doing this just to annoy all those Europeans out there going around suing US government officials for various human rights issues, but still...this is childish. (See Move to charge Ahmadi-Nejad over Israel remarks). I don't care if genocide is an international crime of some sort, there still should be such a thing as sovereign immunity, unless you're so obnoxious that someone comes in an militarily kicks your butt. And "inciting" genocide? Puleeze.

I mean, two wrongs don't make a right. And we shouldn't be encouraging the idea that international law is anything that it isn't (i.e., that it means much at all). No matter what Amandarodintodd says about Israel.
