A.M. writes in to inform me of this story about the U.S. vetoing an extension of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Bosnia.. The sticking point is that we want our peacekeepers exempt from prosecution by the ICC.

I'll acknowledge fully that all of the issues involved are not ones about which I claim much expertise. However, at some point we're going to have to back out of international agreements altogether or give up our tendency to expect special status.
