Re: Surprised

...at you, too, Tom.

As you often admonish others: read the original document. Then tell me which guarantee of humane treatment of children you object to - or think the US would object to as a nation. Then tell me, in light of the excerpts I quoted and similar articles elsewhere in the Convention (technically not a treaty), how you continue to interpret it as a license for any nation - not just those you find objectionable - to "lecture us on how to treat kids."

When you can get your knee to stop jerking and can concentrate, recall that there are only two members of the UN who are not signatories; the US being one. That means all of our friends are there, too - not just the Axis of Evil. Even if your false assumption about the enabling power of this document were true, wouldn't it make more sense for the US to sign it, thereby gaining equal dicatorial privilege?
