Such superiority, and the willingness to wield it, does not come without some troubling questions. The first is whether weaker countries won't now feel their only sure defence lies in nuclear weapons . . .

I first heard this "troubling question" from a hyper-leftist who simply didn't seem to understand that we had just used our super-duper-power to prevent such a thing -- and will again, if necessary. So why would they, since that seems to be the surest way to get their butts kicked by us?

"The Bush administration's willingness to shred international treaties and disregard the United Nations suggests a heavily militaristic approach;"

Excuse me? The only treaty we "shredded" was the anti-ballistic missile treaty with the soviet union, a country that no longer exists and a country that on paper at least is no longer an enemy!

Leftists keep on lumping Kyoto and ICC among those "shredded" treaties. They conveniently forget that the US Senate never ratified those treaties and therefore the US could not be said to be shredding these treaties as it never accepted them in the first place.
