So I thought Amsterdam might be a great place to move.
"Three months later, George W. Bush signed a new law prohibiting any U.S. cooperation with the International Criminal Court. The law went so far as to include a provision authorizing the president to 'use all means necessary and appropriate,' including a military invasion of the Netherlands, to free U.S. personnel detained or imprisoned by the ICC."

I would still like to move there. I could just see the neocons attack the Netherlands for holding an American prisoner in the ICC. I am so tired of these fools, these wankers of babylon, who kill for power, yet do not govern.

3. Invade Nederland?
:rofl:
Now that would start WWIII.

Here's why that wont happen:
1) Nederland is one of the biggest investors in the US is not the biggest investor.
2) Many, many, many of the wealthy in the country are heavily invested in Nederland
3) France would nuke the everloving shit out of us
4) Nato would attack us (wouldn't that be cute?)
5) China would use the opportunity to seize Tiawan.
6) War against all of Europe (not very good odds we would win that one).

7. Couldn't the Netherlands argue an attack on it is an attack on all the EU?
If we sent an invasion force to retrieve captured US personnel or even statesmen, wouldn't the Netherlands argue that we are in effect invading all of the European Union since they are a member of the EU?

Would that not be construed as an act of war against the EU???
