Bush chooses internationalism when it suits him.
He scuttled Kyoto, ABM and the Biological weapons protocols and ignores
the Viena and Geneva conventions.
So, you think implementing a system that protects US citizens from ICMBs is
a bad thing? Come down off your high horse.
He did not say that it was a bad thing, he stated simply that this constitutes
a breach of the ABM treaty.
Also, when was the last time we broke the Geneva convention? The last war
was in Desert Storm, and did we torture any of those Iraqi soldiers that
surrendered without firing a shot? No, I don't think we did. We have ALWAYS
treated enemy soldiers as well, or better, than the Geneva convention
states, EVEN when our enemies did not, such as was the case in Vietnam,
where our troops were torturted with electric shock.
The USA government torture(d/s) many of the detainees from the war in
Afghanistan. They do this with the justification that it is necessary in
order to prevent further attacks on the USA, and that these people are not
really prisoners of war anyway. (I'll leave it to you to decide whether
someone captured in the War in Afghanistan is a prisoner of war or not.)
and you know this how? please...proof of this would be interesting.
