But your post is the reason why we can never allow an international treaty to force us to give up our soldiers for the political exploitation by enemies of our national policy.

The world is not a nice or friendly place. While America makes its share of mistakes, I think governments like the French and Russians go out of their way to make us the villan. If it plays well in Germany, France or Russia, then whats to stop one of their judges from railroading one of our guys? I think recent events have proven the UN is not above corruption and petty self interests either. What makes them qualified to judge us?
