>>Congress saw threats to sovereignty when it adopted the hotly debated WTO trade agreement in 1994, and sought to limit the damage by specifying that only the U.S. government--and not foreigners or private firms--could use U.S. courts to enforce WTO agreements. << funny, i thought congress was busy trying to give our sovereignty away. why would they save it? of course, we s/b wary of losing our sovereignty. however, such wariness shouldn't cripple us or send us running out of the sandbox. there is a line, imho, and we disagree about whether it was crossed. mark my words, if the wto, nafta, eu or anybody else gets whacked out, we will give them the bird and not comply. re: the un. we told the UN that we intend to take the terrorist campaign outside of afghanistan, we didn't ask and we will not take no for an answer. it does shed light on who really controls who when the chips are down.
