A treaty is a contract between two or more parties agreeing to follow a certain course of action. Whenever there are two or more parties involved, compromises are usually in order. That's what I think he means by "voting".....people want some kind of say on how America chooses to operate in the world and that requires some compromising on our part. Within the bounds of a certain specific treaty they should get some say, and outside of specific and undisputed treaty concerns they should get input (that can be accepted, modified or rejected). But the US has never signed a treaty giving other nations control over our armed forces or national security. We are part of NATO but like all NATO countries we retain the right of independent action. We can and should listen to the conserns of others but America's decisions are in America's decisions, just like France's decisions are France's and so on (although France has ceeded a lot more of its soverignty to the EU then we have to any body) Tim
