All bark and no bite?

So the ICC has been around for a few years now, and we see that there is an arrest warrant for a sitting president; responsible for one of the worst genocides in the last 15 years (and no, it's not Bush.)

My understanding of this is: The ICC special prosecutor thinks that Sudan's president/dictator is a really bad guy, and someone that should be tried at the Hague. However, the only people authorized to arrest him are the Sudanese. Which is kinda like saying, "We're going to try you for war crimes and genocide, which you're more than likely guilty of, after which we're going to strip you of power and stuff you in a tiny jail cell for the rest of your natural life...just as soon as you turn yourself in."

Maybe it's just because I've had a rough weekend, but this makes me laugh, kind of: the UN and ICC thumping their chests and screaming empty threats to anyone who will listen...which is almost no one.
