I really dont find any real difference between what I said you say, and
what you claim you say. Ok, lets say, you think US law is the best form
of political oversight, given the present circumstances. Doesnt change
much, every political judgement is as per to present circumstances. And
for me, this statement is as problematic as the other one. <br>

You are saying US law is more accessible and offers better
accountability than international law to non US people!!! What a
high-handed claim to make! Are you sure you will like to seen saying
that kind of a 'silly' thing (a term you use often :) ). May we just
have the basic decency to ask non US people if this is what they think
:). <br>
