Conservatives out there will enjoy this video: Sarah Palin delivered a fiery speech Friday night to about 1,400 people at the Iowa Republican Party’s largest annual fundraiser in Des Moines, Iowa. She's "Showin' love to the home team!"
Lest anyone forget, Ronald Reagan, RIP, is a terrorist convicted by the World Court, for crimes against the people of Nicaragua.
Let us also not forget that the ICJ has no authority or jurisdiction to hear such a case, and their ruling is irrelevant.
Additionally, let us not forget that Nicaragua withdrew the complaint from the court in 1991.
I have not forgotten either.
The US did indeed claim the first, but this was rejected by the court, The ICJ
is of course a UN body, and the US is bound by treaty to accept their rulings.
One revealing consequence of these proceedings was that the US voted in the UN not to uphold international law, unltimately only being supported by..you guessed it.. Israel.
As for the second, the war with the US proxies ruined the Nicaraguan economy and the people of Nicaragua knew that they had to elect Chamorro to prevent further destruction. When the Nicaraguan Assembly voted against seeking compensation, the case became effectively moot.
Nevertheless, the US did receive a conviction for terrorism.
