<It's all a matter of trust, I guess.
Same for all te other international issues the US refuses to follow. (Human rights, Children's rights, environment, mines, and I forget others, certainly).

I fail to see just where the US 'refuses to follow' on issues of human rights (we have the fairest courts in the globe), children's rights(include that one in the previous one. Taking parental rights away isn't right either.), environment (US has cleaner air than China, countries in S.A. and some European countries), mines (our men and women of the armed forces are in Afghanistan right now risking their lives to de-mine that country and the US has helped in that effort prior to 9-11)... feel free to add as many more issues as you would like here _______ .
