<You really have a completely negative and jaundiced view of your country's fp>
My view is that the Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution, represent the definitive statement in human history, of how nations should be governed. Nothing else, certainly nothing that has been produced by France or England or China or any other nation, comes close, by a wide margin.
And yes, I have a very negative view of my nation's foreign policy, because it consistently ignores the principles in those defining documents. And has, since 1895.
One of these days, I'm going to do a line-by-line review of the 1994 U.S.-N. Korea agreement, and post it here. From what I've read so far, both sides cheated, neither side came anywhere close to doing what they promised to do. You could do that review, if you cared to, and I think you'd come to the same conclusion (if you don't start with a SeeNoEvil assumption about your own nation). |
