how far do we allow our own systems to collapse or implode because of the icc?view there was a new africa, a hurricane passing across the continent, and we are proud and we are confident of where we are going. if you are proud and confident, why do not welcome these universal values, whether they be applied by outsiders or insiders? why don't you just recognise these are values that you aspire to? if we are talking about universal values, blair would be at the icc as we speak. let's put it like this. the questions are tentative. there's one part of me that wants to see the uhuru kenyatta in court. i want to see the facts unfold. there is no doubt about it. but you blink like this, the ivory coast has hiccups, and the french are back inside like this, running everything again. mali and so forth. we have to watch these things. we do have these relationships. that relationship is well documented between the west and africa and it continues. this gets to the nub of the conversation. it seems to me on one hand, you say we are a new africa and not the generation that

first corporate attorneys in the united states, could tie up these cases for years, but even if the icc in early years was weak, it created this precedent for this dominant form of regulatory government, the independent appointed commission, right? and i bet you can think of a whole bunch of independent appointed commissions. i wrote a book on one. you might've thought have -- you might have thought of, for example, the 9/11 commission, which is the most recent example of a precedent set by the icc. i will give you an example of how in the weeds it could get. i literally found this out two weeks ago. i went to a workshop on jewish genealogy, and i did not even use genealogical sites for this. i googled my great-grandfather's name and found out he was involved in a case that he and his business partner took to the interstate commerce commission and -- i want to say 1919. you want to talk about small potatoes. they had an argument with the to figure as a senate santa fe railroads. they were junk dealers. jewish immigrants from eastern europe. they owned a company that sold secondhand scra
