Who Are We To Condemn Another Country?

Dear BuzzFlash,
OK, Lets put this into perspective ...
For a long time there were two superpowers... then a little over ten years ago one of them collapsed, and that left one superpower... the USA.
Today, as the most powerful country in the world, the USA has already renounced the International Court of law, over a year ago the US renounced the Geneva Convention, then after that the US unsuccessfully bullied the UN .. so the USA declared the United Nations 'irrelevant'.
And now the sole superpower of the world proves to everyone that there is no longer any law, no fair play, no diplomacy, no United Nations ... Anything goes!
So says the leader of the world.. its open season!
.. no Geneva Convention, no International Law, no United Nations.. no NOTHING!
As the leader of the world, the USA has officially set the policy.
If you want to attack another country.. well, DO It!
And now, what's to keep any number of countries around the world from attacking bitter enemies? Places where they have wanted to attack for decades.. but held back because of the international courts, war crimes trials, and especially the Geneva Convention.
Now any festering hot-spot in the entire world has the green light from George Bush.
If some country decides to attack someone, and if the US doesn't like it, NOW what are we going to say about it??!
If any country decides to attack another nation.. who are we to say anything?
If countries torture their prisoners.. who are we to say anything?
If any country defies international law.. who are we to say anything?
If anyone silences dissent in their country.. who are we to say anything?
If any country repeatedly lies to the international community.. who are we to say anything?
If any country defies the United Nations.. who are we to say anything?
So there you have it, the standard is set .. by the leader of the world!!
Best,
Kelley Kramer
