STRATFOR opposes things like the ICC and executing former dictators for very pragmatic reasons. They argue that fear of trial or death gives dictators an incentive to cling to power as long as possible and engage in murderous repression, knowing that they have nowhere to go if it all goes hairy. Fear of justice doesn't seem to prevent them from committing atrocities. Letting these murderers off the hook rubs me the wrong way, though.

People need to realize that NATO is neither good nor bad the same way a gun is neither good nor bad. It's an organization capable of immense power projection. Power projection is merely a tool. If you agree with the ends and the means, it doesn't really matter what you think of the incredible constellation of diverse interests, individuals, and groups behind a NATO action. Citing comical russian propaganda isn't helpful.

So I basically interpret from this that Israel did the equivalent of kicking the Assad regime in the balls as a warning?
