Rusutto, to begin with, I'm not quite sure where you live but i'm taking it that it is in the U.S. This is due to the fact that if you live somewhere where the media has not yet been completely manipulated by the U.S. Governent you would realise that there would be an international outcry to the retaliation which is taking place. Numerous accounts have been recently released dealing with certain facts such as that it is impossible to mobilise the military might of the U.S. in 2 months. The operations planned for Dessert Storm alone took over 4. There's also the fact that the supposed account of Bin Laden on Video released would never be admissable in a court. This is becasue it can easily be forged, students in Britain recently made one of Bush.
Also, although there is no oil in Afghanistan, the U.S. prior to Sept 11th was trying to get the Taliban to put a pipe line through their country. The US had brought Taliban leaders into the U.S. to negotiate this. However they declined.

Second of all, the U.S. does acknowledge the International War Crimes Triubunal, it has several prominent members on the board such as Michael Ratner, USA (Attorney, former director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, past president of the National Lawyers Guild.) Deborah Jackson, USA (First vice president of the American Association of Jurists, former director of National Conference of Black Lawyers.) and many more. By the way the report was written by Ramsey Clark who once served as the Attorney General
One of the 19 crimes the U.S. was convicted of was "The United States engaged in a pattern of conduct beginning in or before 1989 intended to lead Iraq into provocations justifying U.S. military action against Iraq and permanent U.S. military domination of the Gulf. " Another one being "2. President Bush from August 2, 1990, intended and acted to prevent any interference with his plan to destroy Iraq economically and militarily."

I hope this enlightens you. I'd be happy to deal with any more questions. Oh one final thing, the reason nothing has happened to those convicted, is to well look at who they are and the power they hold George Bush, J. Danforth Quayle, James Baker,
Richard Cheney, William Webster, Colin Powell,
Norman Schwarzkopf etc
