Your well-researched essay would be a fine piece of political satire but for one inconvenient fact: The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court. And when the ICC considered adding the additional war crime of "aggression," in 2010, the Obama Administration, lead by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and State Department Legal Advisor, Harold Koh, lobbied the ICC to delay that vote until -- get this -- January 2017. Why? Because targeting individual actors for assassination by drone is, by definition, a war crime of aggression.
