"What am I missing here folks...??"

I think we need a clarification of our positions on international institutions. We look like fools when we demand that all others abide by these institutions and then ignore them ourselves.

For a long time our nation has been cautious of "foreign entanglements", but let's not fool ourselves; that isn't true any more.

Thank you for your reply.... it is not an issue of “ignoring” them but rather understanding their purpose.. The ICJ was never intended to “trump” U.S. Law — yet so many folk out there want it to do just that.... 2nd, the ICJ only has jurisdiction in cases where ALL parties in the case agree and “submit” to it’s “authority” —— what part of THIS am I missing my FRiend?
