The devils that stole us from Africa, saw something even more evil then their imperialism and colonization.
The British chided the Bush administration over their war for oil, intead of their system of colonizing and mentally subjugating people instead of just anihilating them
Fascism doesn't negotiate or sujugate, it just goes in and wipes out folks and siezes the resources, and now that the US is broke;
new Iraqs' and Afghanistans weill more then likely be looked for.
US Opposes ICC Bid to Make 'Aggression' a Crime Under International Law

The Obama administration has resisted efforts by the International Criminal Court to include 'aggression' as a crime, mainly because it could impact US military operations abroad.
Washington -- The United States under the Obama administration has developed an increasingly close working relationship with the International Criminal Court in The Hague. But that growing engagement with a controversial institution of international law was unable to prevent the ICC from expanding the scope of its work to include the murky crime of “aggression,” a move the US had vehemently opposed.
At the 111-nation ICC’s first review conference that wrapped up last week in Kampala, Uganda, delegates decided to expand the international court’s purview to include the crime of aggression – a crime that only the US has successfully tried, in the post-World War II tribunals in Nuremburg and Tokyo.
State Department officials say the US, which is not a signatory to the ICC, was able to mitigate the drawbacks of such an expansion of the court’s reach, primarily by putting off any prosecution of the newest international crime until at least 2017.
But some critics say the US failure to stop the enshrining of “aggression” as an international crime demonstrates the limits of President Obama’s multilateralist vision – and sets the US on a collision course with the ICC when the issue comes up again later in the decade.
