I think the US should clearly announce it's position on treaties to the UN. They apply to everyone, except the US or when the US doesn't want it to apply to other countries.

In his address, President Ahmedinejad accused the US of trying to divide the world into "light and dark countries."

There's a third category. "Who cares" countries. Zimbabwe and the Sudan fit into that group. Let 'em kill each other, who cares. They don't have anything we want.

>>" "The US has very little leverage with potential proliferators," says Ms. Goldring. "When headlines in the US talk of preemptive attacks on countries without nuclear weapons, and that [the US] will improve its tactical nuclear arsenal, our leverage is zero or negative." "<<

Boy, that says it all.

It is like Galloway said the other night against Hitchens talking about the US and the "foreign insurgents" in Iraq which btw he said are 96% Iraqi and the US and British "invaders" are what??...not foreigners??
