Tim, This is the reason I asked Al this question in my post: Message 18229922 because: 1 - Withdrawal from the ABM treaty Russians more or less went along 2 - Kyoto Was never a treaty, since it was never ratified by Senate, in fact it was soundly rejected by Senate. Joe

1 - Withdrawal from the ABM treaty. It's was in our countries best interest to withdraw from the treaty, and in any case the treaty included a provision for withdrawal. We did not unilaterally go back on our word. 2 - Kyoto - It was also in our interests not to go along with this proposed treaty, and in any case nothing was ever ratified by the Congress so we were not bound by the agreement. Congress would have been unlikely to ever ratify it, and many other countries had also not ratified it. You missed my point. Unilateral was the key. Re-read the posts. Diplomacy is not one of the administration's strong suits. Al
