Hi Teribus.

The issue of the violation of UN treaties is a red herring. The Bush Administration has no intention in honoring any UN resolution unless it serves their political agenda. This is true of the current administration and past right-wing ones.

Today, the world countries can be interpreted as being our neighbors and unless we pay attention to their needs and eliminate the need for any conquest by one country over another, we can expect an escalation of the arms race again and the propensity for the use of WMD's.

In the meantime, the US has it's right-wing madrasas that are inculcating a warlike attitude in our young people. A young lady in an elementary classroom was heard to say, "Well, Hitler was just doing what he thought was right!"
