Thanks. You're against NATO and all alliances.
I'm wondering why you make an exception for the UN Charter - isn't it the ULTIMATE entangling alliance?
How about the Proliferation Security Initiative the Bush administration has pushed:
The Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) is an international effort led by the United States to interdict transfer of banned weapons and weapons technology. The PSI is primarily focused on combating proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and materials. The initiative is designed to work within the framework of other international agreements and the role of participating countries varies. The PSI consists of 15 core countries, which alongside the US include Russia, Japan, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. A further 60 countries have agreed to cooperate on an ad hoc basis. en.wikipedia.org
Its what caught and ended the Libyan nuclear program. Are you opposed to us organizing this too? After all it involves agreements with foreign countries.
The idea of the PSI was specifically developed by John R. Bolton, former US Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security and former US Ambassador to the United Nations, after 15 Scud missiles found on board a North Korean freighter had to be released when it turned out that international law did not allow them to be confiscated. The PSI was announced by US President George W. Bush on May 31, 2003 in Cracow, Poland.
Eight nations have signed bilateral Mutual Shipboarding Pacts with the United States, allowing the mutual expedition of shipboarding requests for ships under those nations' flags. The eight are Belize, Croatia, Cyprus, Liberia, Malta, the Marshall Islands, Mongolia and Panama. Each of these nations maintains a large number of commercial vessels on their registries.
Are you opposed to the Mutual Shipboarding Pacts with the major commercial shipping nations? |
