Treatys, unlike peoples personal relationships and how they view them (which is no one else's business), are all of our concerns. Politicians are our representatives. If we do nothing to try and keep a treaty in tact, or break one if there is legitimate reason, we are involved in that. Apparently Americans are not happy with the Kyoto treaty being shunted aside ~ Americans also disagreed with Bush's decision to withdraw from the Kyoto global warming treaty, by a substantial 59% to 21%. Opponents of the treaty said the international effort to fight the "greenhouse effect" could hurt the U.S. economy. latimes.com Now perhaps there will be a action around BREAKING a treaty without justification. That and spending all those billions on a half-ass, at this point, system. I'm more interested in action than in "people watch too much tv" (most I know don't) and stuff. And politicians are OUR representatives. We are responsible for what we get, and responsible for how our nation acts. It's not like all those treaties with the Indians got broken without a lot of public consent.
