but why would that be a general aim of the Republican Party since 2000? Republicans *used* to believe in honoring treaties (or so I thought?). Now, all they want to do is rip them up. And now that I am thinking about it, I can't think of any treaties they've actually done while in office. Does anybody remember any treaties GWB signed while in office? It seems like all they do is claim that all of the treaties that Democrats negotiate are flawed, but instead of simply renegotiating them and/or making adjustments to what they claim is flawed, they just rip them up wholesale and throw whatever's left in the shredder.
