Yesterday

I learned that when the Press was raking GW over the coals for war atrocities in Iraq. George said "Nope, cause the US isn't a member of the ICC!"! Didn't seem right then and don't seem right now. So, any country who's not a member of the ICC can commit all the atrocities they want. I don't understand it.
Sure doesn't seem like justice to me. Are WE a rogue nation, then? How does one define a "rogue nation"?
