Yet the United States in some ways by its very Constitution and Bill of Rights is above such laws enacted by international councils; In spite of the fact, that we have signed some of these laws, we now are above them and not subject to them? What a bunch of elistist crap! The author doesn't think England or France or Germany have documents comparable to the Bill of Rts.? Well, he needs to think again? This American chauvinism is absurd.......and you wonder why other countries are critical! its vast military ensures that it is not one among equals, but possesses might far above the collective resources of both its enemies and friends. Is this a threat? If you don't get real nice, the American warloads will bomb the shit out of you. It is rare for lethal military to be coupled with humane government, but such is the case with the United States ? and its unusual position in historical terms should be so acknowledged. Europe, which collectively has a population and economy as great as America's, has chosen not to field a commensurately powerful military, a choice in and of itself rife with moral implications, and explicatory as well of its strenuous efforts to place American soldiers abroad under international control. ?
