*No offence Webby but how about documenting this statement of yours. "in particular the current Admin .. they have broken so many promises and treaties ... signed many and then just filed them, never to be implimented." Educate me please and make a list.*
First... a generalisation... I can't actually think of one single Treaty lately that the US has initially agreed to, that was not actually signed in the end. Can you?
For some history... when are ya gonna actually implement the human rights Treaty you signed many years back?
Current... You did agree to the International Criminal Court, but on second thoughts, assumed this was beneath the US and then subsequently made up a range of excuses as to "why not". Then settled for one about "protection of forces". Then, although the Admin had not signed, they then started messing, once again, in an attempt to destroy this Treaty.
On the Kyoto Treaty.. again this was agreed to, then it was not, (common!) ... The technique there was once again to mess it up. So George thought by not sending representation to the conference, the world would "cave in" cos the US was not on board. This backfired on day one of the conference and all members proceeding to fulfill there promises without the US.
On the UN front... The US has/has never paid the club subs to attend, but when Sept 11 arrived... hell.. we could not pay em subs quick enough! Cos we *needed* something... all pityful...
There is loads more... would take too long... OK.. another... "womens rights" ... sounds OK?? That also was agreed... but come the day of signing.. apparently the US does not have rights for women, and this also was shelved.
Oh hell... enough!
