Bolivia to sue US for crimes against humanity

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by William769 (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Bolivian President Evo Morales has decided to file a lawsuit against the US government for crimes against humanity, censuring its violation of international law.

“I would like to announce that we are preparing a lawsuit against (US President) Barack Obama to condemn him for crimes against humanity,” said President Morales at a press conference in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz on Thursday.

Morales branded the US president as a “criminal” who violates international law.

He decried the US for its intimidation tactics and fear-mongering after the Venezuelan presidential jet was blocked from entering US airspace.

It appears that Morales is enough of an idiot that he thinks Obama should be hauled before the ICC for the "crime against humanity" of denying Nicky Madurro the right to fly over Puerto Rico.

He's dumber than Bush.

suing Obama because he got his feeling hurt. Called Obama a criminal. This derives from the supposed denial of US airspace for Maduro's trip to China.

meanwhile US State Department says flight was approved even though Ven did not solicit permission with 72 hours beforehand. They did it before hand. Also, the plane is not an official Ven plan rather a Cuban airliner.
