I will agree with you on counts 1, 2, and 4. The other counts, I have to disagree with you on. 3) When have we ignored the Geneva Conventions? Don't bring up al Quadea either; the Geneva Conventions specifically apply to combatants in times of war, not terrorists. 5) We never signed the Kyoto accords. It is our soverign right to sign or not sign onto a treaty. Since we did not sign Kyoto, we never agreed to be bound by it. If we're talking about global democracy I'm all for it, but it's a two-way street. Last I checked, Germany and France rather enjoyed being able to exercise their soverign rights by slapping us in the face. On that note, doesn't France still owe us like a trillion dollars from the Lend-Lease act??? :-)
