11/15 Finally! The right common sense way for the US to deal with the
rest of the world. I'm too young to have voted for him at the time
but I sure wish the world had more leaders like this. We need this
sort of courage in times like these.

\_ Like sheep to the slaughter... It's too bad he wasn't around
during WWII eh?
\_ Do you propose then that we openly violate treaties that we
have signed and expect other countries to follow?
\_ why propose something that's already being done?
\_ Name one. And don't name the anti-nuke treaty with the
Soviets. There was an 'out' clause built into the original
treaty and we legally exited.
\_ invasion of Serbia without authorization of UN
security consoul for one. GHB's authorization of
invasion of Panama is another. For the rest, US just
pressure other nation to sign but not signing it
itself, including Univeral declaration of Women's
right, Univeral ban on land mind, biological weapon,
and nuclear test.
\_ Serbia: say what? You're insane. It was a NATO
sponsored action. You know, NATO? That treaty
created org? Panama? What treaty was that? The
one where we gave up control of the incredibly
important PC to a bunch of third worlders? And for
the rest, if we didn't sign it then we didn't break
it. Your debate fu is weak. Try harder. I actually
thought you might come up with something but I see I
was correct: we didn't break any treaties: you're
just spewing your agenda driven ignorance.
\_ --"For every time an American gives a dollar, a citizen of Norway
--gives 17 dollars," he [Carter] said."
I'd love to see the numbers on this.
\_ And the tax rates. And how much of American tax dollars have
gone to keeping Norway a safe place to live. And how many
immigrants they allow in and how easy it is to work or get
citizenship there vs here. |
