well the song says "god bless america", not "god bless iraq" or "god bless dark skinned people" or "god bless the chinese". if you understand this basic tenet of democracy, you will be on the path to enlightenment as to why we can break treaties an nobody else is supposed to.

"Iyad Allawi, the new Prime Minister of Iraq, pulled a pistol and executed as many as six suspected insurgents at a Baghdad police station, just days before Washington handed control of the country to his interim government, according to two people who allege they witnessed the killings.

But the informants told the Herald that Dr Allawi shot each young man in the head as about a dozen Iraqi policemen and four Americans from the Prime Minister's personal security team watched in stunned silence."
