Assad to be indicted in International Criminal Court?
A prestigious group of lawyers has called for the indictment of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the International Criminal Court as a result of Friday's slaughter of more than 100 Syrian anti-government demonstrators (Hat Tip: Daily Alert). "Those ordering and carrying out these attacks, including those firing live rounds into crowds, must be held criminally accountable," the International Committee of Jurists (ICJ) said in a statement.Assad has nothing to fear. After all Omar al-Bashir was indicted by the International Criminal Court, and he remains a free man and travels freely throughout the Arab world.
As opposition supporters continued to bury dead comrades on Sunday, four more were reported to have been killed.
William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, warned all Britons in Syria that the scale of violence was so grave they should leave immediately or risk not being able to leave "at all" as the turmoil worsened.
Western governments were coming under growing scrutiny for their divergent policies towards Libya and Syria, where more than 300 people have been shot dead since unrest began five weeks ago.
The International Criminal Court is a farce.

Carl, exactly.
The chances any one will seek to have him arrested if he should travel to a Western country are slim to none.
So what if he's a mass murderer like his father?
Since it doesn't involve the Jews, no one could care less if he slaughters Arabs in his own country.
