You better believe that if other states could get justice they would do so, they just don't have the capability. Only after Obama got elected did a lot of Latin American war criminals in exile in the United States get the justice that they deserved. The US can and will protect war criminals as long as it wants to. It takes a policy change for us to let them go.

But don't think that other states don't wish they could do it.
