Slippery Slope? - We'll see in 50 years, won't we! Josh says, "Why do we treat the UN as if it is a legitimate form of democratic authority?" [Joshua Claybourn's Domain] What happened to national sovereignty?  And what about this UN World Tribunal that I heard about?  Apparently, Clinton (a Democrat - duh!), was involved in a treaty creating the court, but both have "expressed reservations that the expressed reservations that the treaty could lead to politically-motivated prosecution of U.S. government leaders or military personnel." Government leaders? Military personnel?  Why are those our only concerns?  What about the notion that some other power than *ourselves* has the power to rule on matters and treat our Constitution as meaningless on the world stage?  No.  I don't think so.
