Good on Australian PM Kevin Rudd! But...........

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has indicated that his government is considering filing charges in the International Criminal Court against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for "incitement to genocide" based on the Iranian bigot-in-chief's comments about wiping Israel off the map: http://news.sbs.com.au/worldnewsaustralia/rudd_mulls_court_action_against_ahmadinejad_546900. Of course, this has already been contemplated once before: http://jcpa.org/text/ahmadinejad-incitement.pdf.

While I am glad that Mr. Rudd is showing himself to be a friend of Israel, I am concerned about the precedent this would set, because you just KNOW that those who hate Israel (and the United States) will watch what happens here very carefully to learn how they can use this to their advantage.
