Omar Al-Bashir and the ICC

There is much hipocrisy in the Western world: many standards that are set through international political discourse are not really followed. More often than not, the rules set for the weak ones, do not seem to apply to the strong ones.
It is a pity that such an argument can be captured by such a man as Sudan's president Omar Al-Bashir, whom the ICC has recently issued an arrest warrant against. He is the first sitting leader to be issued an arrest warrant against by the ICC (Arrest warrant was issues against Slobodan Milosevic in 1999, while he was Serbian president).
It is fair enough to say that other leaders need to tried as well, but that is no argument against any crook like Al-Bashir being tried. Since the ICC only came into operation in 2002 (and has not been joined by such countries as the US, China or Russia), this ia daring and refreshing dynamic to its work on behalf of international law and human rights. It needs to start somewhere, and Mr. Al-Bashir should be served with this arrest warrant because it is the right thing to do, and political motivations should not interfere in the decision of the ICC.
