In essence, US reaction to the establishment of an International

international law as one for American citizens -- and another for the
rest of the world. It is a classic case of American double standards,
easy to see for the rest of us, but strangely invisible to Americans.

Thus far, countries such as China, Cuba, North Korea, Iraq, USA,
Libya, Burma, Pakistan, have refused to sign the ICC Treaty.

Torsten,

I have explained how treaties work in this country. They must pass the
senate. 100 Americans 2 from each state which give them a heavy conservitive
bias. The majority of people of this country see no reason that others have
any seventy over the US what so ever. We do not like the idea of progressive
taxes. We don't like paying the lions share of he UN and we don't like
doing you wet work and we will never allow a UN leader to lead US troop
again after turning tail and running and living our boys to die.

The Kyoto treaty has a better chance of passing than that one. The world can
cry whine and get it's panties in a wad all it wants we will not put one
Americans life in foreign hands after the way we have been treated. Too much
of the world disagrees with the way we do things. We will not give them
sacrificial lambs.

I don't think it is right but people like you, France, South Africa and the
Arab world we don't trust for a fair trial. Nor will this president make
nice noises about it like the last one did about Kyoto knowing full well
that less that 10 senators world vote for its passage.
