Let me break it down for you: "Do what we say, or else...."
Check a dictionary for the definition of a threat. I think it obtuse to not admit that the US is threatening smaller countries with withdrawal of support if they go along with the ICC. Argue all you like whether the ICC is a valid entity, whether the US should be a part of it or not. But don't argue a fact that it is threatening smaller countries. I suppose if OPEC said if the US doesn't withdraw from IRAQ it would stop selling oil to the US...that wouldn't be a 'threat'. *shakes head* -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Heald, Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Funny the subject said something about threatening. I see no threats. I mean withholding defense money from other nations isn't a threat, it's international politics. Threats are "we are going to invade you if you don't......". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
