But I think the hague takes care of that kind of thing, no?

Blair, as ever, is using the traditional political trick of only revealing the truth when he knows it cannot do him any harm whatsoever. He always was a first-grade cunt and always will be.
Because they fear it being used as political football and they seem to be right - the people who organised the massacres when Saigon fell (probably about 100-200k killed within a year) sleep soundly in their beds, as do leaders and senior officials from Sri Lanka, Syria et al.
None of those countries are members of the ICC either. If they were, such people might've been brought to justice. All of the South American countries are members, incidentally. But most importantly, America claims to stand for some higher values of justice, liberty, freedom and democracy, and always proclaims such values when they're actually looking after their own selfish national interests. They're very keen to cite international laws to justify their actions, despite showing no desire to enforce such laws when their own citizens are involved. The fact that you have to point to some less than democratic regimes to find some equivalents should tell you everything you need to know. The fact that Vietnam haven't brought war criminals to justice should have no influence on the decision to prosecute any of the American citizens allegedly involved in war crimes.
But since you mention it, can I ask you for a link to the massacre you refer to after the fall of Saigon? I've found reference to "re-education camps" which had less than favourable conditions, but nothing about any massacres.
ETA: Doesn't matter, I think I've found it.
