Re: What is reality?

When I think the ICC was originally a US idea......
But well, here's an interesting answer.
With this part:
The historical American response to international disorder has been to strengthen and extend international law - the country's policy from the first Theodore Roosevelt government to the second Clinton administration. .
The contrary policy of the Pentagon, Congress and the Bush administration seems motivated by fear, but fear of what? Of America's allies themselves? I suppose, in a sense, that is partly the case
.

And a little more.

An anthropologist viewpoint
With this in mind:
Anthropology suggests that when peoples and cultures are squeezed, extreme ideologies sometimes emerge, inspired by strange and unexpected beliefs. However unique the circumstances that forged its abominable impulses, Al Qaeda is nevertheless reminiscent of these revitalization movements. We must strive to understand its roots, for the chaotic conditions of disintegration and disenfranchisement that led to Al Qaeda are found amongst disaffected populations throughout the world.
