Agree this is the way it should be handled. But, somehow along the way the UN started to be ineffectual. I think now...no one thinks of it being able to hold anyone accountable for no matter what the heinous crime is. We are just supposed to let the Mobs take them and throw them in a prison to rot away or kill them in grotesque ways to be shown and paraded before the media. We set an example when we "Took Out" bin Laden and buried him at sea..

Sad times, indeed.
