DS Ottawa Treaty (the land-mine ban)


It's simplistic because you don't seem to understand the
difference between acceptance and even signature by a US
representative, however highly placed, and ratification of a
treaty by Congress. Even the President is not the US; both he
and I are citizens and refusal to ratify is not backing out.

In other words, an American signature on an international agreement is
meaningless because of an unwieldy political process which leads to an
agreement not being binding.

I'm not a U.S. citizen, however you come across as a barely literate
anti-American ASSHOLE.

That was hardly a knee jerk reaction. It was a statment of fact. The US
had planned to go metric. I provided a long list of international
agreements that the US had made and backed out of. I wall jerk my other
knee and restate my comment that an American signature on an
international agreement is meaningless.

Can you read? It has been explained to you how US ratification
works and how do you have any idea what "the US" intends?

Having signed agreements should be some indication of what they intend.
That is why there are international conferences and signed agreements.
Everyone sits down and hammers out a deal, but then one of the
participants walks out and fails to comply.
