This Isn't Arrogance?

I keep hearing how arrogant America and Americans are. Well, Belgium unilaterally claims a right to universal jurisdiction in human rights allowing Belgium's courts to try crimes against humanity and genocide, no matter where they were committed. And the Belgium Supreme Court just ruled that Ariel Sharon can be tried for war crimes dating back to the 1982 massacre at Sabra and Shatila refugee camps after he leaves office. All I can say is, you and what army are going to make the arrest?
