<<Mirror Mirror On The Wall, Who's The Biggest Rogue Of All?>> All those treaties, and the US did not sign What kind of Imperialist Superpower is this, anyway.? We are not setting the rules for the world , telling everyone else how to behave, what they can or cannot do Those treaty writers are doing that. This leaves us free to say, when threatened, what we will do about it, and what the offending party is expected to do about it. One on one, if policy fails. Terrorist acts can happen at any time, and of any magnitude. If N Korea send out a nuke, action may be required in minutes. No time to discuss policy or treaties. We will greet that incoming missile with an ABM of some sort and decide how to respond without reading some musty treaties. Treaties can be good in the talking stages. Not much use making one with OBL or Saddam though..They speak a different language Sig
