5. Most question the efficacy of the agreements, but both Republican and Democratic administrations have been hostile to the idea of the ICC indicting US nationals. Could that change in the face of unpopular pardons? Who knows. But Americans' attitudes towards the ICC are surprisingly favorable. Fin
