Impotent posturing
What the Hell good is an arrest warrant for Moamar Gaddafi and his son? Well, that’s what the International Court issued today says Associated Press;
The International Criminal Court said Col. Gadhafi, his son Seif al-Islam Gadhafi and his intelligence chief, Abdullah al-Sanoussi, are wanted for orchestrating the killing, injuring, arrest and imprisonment of hundreds of civilians during the first 12 days of an uprising to topple Col. Gadhafi from power and for trying to cover up their alleged crimes.
The warrants from court turn the three men into internationally wanted men, potentially complicating efforts to mediate an end to more than four months of intense fighting in the North African nation. The warrants will be sent to Libya, where Col. Gadhafi remains defiantly entrenched.
To what end? Do they really expect him to surrender himself? Are they going to send the Pima County SWAT Association in to serve the warrants? Maybe they could mount the judges on Hellfire missiles with the warrant in their pockets.

I was wondering the same thing – who are they going to send to serve the warrant?
This whole thing reminds me of the Hans Blix/Kim Jong-Il bit out of Team America…
I’m sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.
Or else what?
Or else we will be very angry with you… and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
Buncha useless pus-nuts.
Ok, for argument sake, let’s posit that he flees the country and goes into exile in, oh say, Iran. Does anyone think that Iran would acknowledge an ICC warrrant?
Well, so long as the ICC doesn’t take any action against Syria. That would be totally inappropriate.
Actually sending Pima SWAT is a great idea. No matter which side gets taken out it is a win.

Team America: World Police was my first thought, too. Who else would have jurisdiction… Interpol? Maybe they can send in Racer X under the guise of a trans-Sahara road race.
