POPSEastern Europe Can Defend Itself
The small number of interceptors are designed to shoot down an equally small number of Iranian missiles -- not the overwhelming numbers that Russia deploys. Poland and other states should be under no illusion they can count on the U.S. in a crisis. In the past we left Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia in the lurch. More recently we haven't done much to help Georgia. We have already seen how the tiny Georgian armed forces -- with fewer than 30,000 men -- were routed by the Russian invaders. According to the CIA's World Factbook, Georgia has over 900,000 men between the ages of 16 and 49. It could easily create a larger military force than it has, but that would require spending more on defense. By the CIA's estimate, its defense budget was just 0.59% of GDP in 2005. According to the International Institute of Strategic Studies, one country in Eastern Europe spends more than 2% of GDP on defense. Bulgaria at 2.2%. Romania is in second place at 1.9%, followed by Poland at 1.8%.

POPSIs Helium 3 Exploitation China's Hidden Lunar Agenda? UN Treaties in place state that the moon and its minerals are the common heritage of mankind, so the quest to use Helium-3 as an energy source would likely demand joint international co-operation. Hopefully, exploitation of the moon's resources will be viewed as a solution for the world, rather than an out-moded nation-state solution.

POPSWord wars - susbsidiarity Having studied politics at University, I practically grew up with the concept of subsidiarity. It strikes me as absurd that this should be deemed a nonexistent word and one that should be abolished at that. If anything, can't it just be created for the sake of argument?

POPSUS Supremes To Bush "Don't Mess With Texas" President George W. Bush urged that Medellin be allowed new hearings and sentencing. The President's decision came after an international consulate determined that Medellin was improperly denied access to his consulate before his original prosecution, which is a violation of a treaty signed by the United States during the 1963 Vienna Convention. The 6-3 vote means the pending execution of Medellin can proceed. He faces lethal injection for two slayings. Chief Justice John Roberts voted for the execution. Roberts was supported in his position by Justices John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito. Justice Stephen Breyer, Justices David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg voted in the negative At age 18, Medellin participated in the June 1993 gang rape and murder of two Harris County, Texas, girls: Jennifer Ertman, 14, and Elizabeth Pena, 16. He was convicted of the crimes and sentenced to death. He has been on death row in Texas ever sin

POPSBipartisan Crimes Against The Constitution But it was not treated as a treaty in the U.S. Clinton submitted NAFTA as an agreement, requiring only a majority of votes in both Houses of Congress for passage, and not a treaty, requiring a two-thirds vote in favor in the Senate. NAFTA passed by votes of 234-200 in the House and 61-38 in the Senate. Clinton did it this way because he didn't have the votes to pass NAFTA as a treaty (requiring 67 votes) in the Senate. But how did he pull off such a blatantly illegal and unconstitutional move? Although the strict text of the U.S. Constitution includes the treaty clause as the only means by which the U.S. can enter into such international agreements, there's a growing body of mostly liberal-left "legal opinion" that holds that "congressional-executive agreements" like NAFTA can serve as substitutes for treaties.

POPSWill McCain Oppose $845 Billion Earmark? Obama/Smith Bill Obama has been busy on the campaign trail but Rep. Adam Smith, the sponsor of the Global Poverty Act in the other body, has been busy complaining about my coverage of this matter! In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that Millennium Declaration commits nations to banning "small arms and light weapons" and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Millennium Declaration also affirms the U.N. as "the indispensable common house of the entire human family, through which we will seek to realize our universal aspirations for peace, cooperation and development." Does anybody seriously believe that? Does Rep. Adam Smith? Does Senator Barack Obama? Does Senator McCain? It is now on the verge of passage by the full S

POPSEconomic Warning: Progressivism has brought us to the brink
We are in deep you know what! Wake up people and SAVE YOUR FREAKIN" MONEY. I suggest buying Euros. We need to regroup, America. We have been destroyed enough by these idiots in Washington and the useful idiots that carry the banner for the Republicans and Democrats. A vast majority of this country is Conservative or Libertarian and we have no party. We only have the Constitution and that is being ripped apart by International treaties on which the people have no recourse. From Article: "I would argue that the most serious threat to the United States is not someone hiding in a cave in Afghanistan or Pakistan but our own fiscal irresponsibility," Walker tells Kroft. "He calls it a fiscal wake up tour, and he is telling civic groups, university forums and newspaper editorial boards that the U.S. has spent, promised, and borrowed itself into such a deep hole it will be unable to climb out if it doesn’t act now. As Walker sees it, the survival of the republic is at stake."

POPSKidnapping Is The Law! Read the whole article. It's insane. National sovereignty essentially no longer has significance only one nation remains "sovereign," and that's the United States of America. Can Americans understand what the rest of the world feels like, when they read things like this? It's friggin' unreal. Imagine if a foreign nation said this to YOU! We never wanted your dictator. We didn't vote for him. Please take him back. Please reign him in... please??.

POPSMore from the Dark Side "This is not U.S. law, it is a Bush Administration hallucination as to U.S. law... The sort of nightmare which refuses to recognize the sovereignty of foreign states or the solemn commitments of U.S. governments over the last two centuries in treaties and conventions. The sort of nightmare that refuses to recognize the 'law of nations' referred to by the Founding Fathers and incorporated into the Constitution."

POPS Stop Child Executions In Iran:::Sign The Petition The usual method of execution is hanging, but Iranian law also opens for stoning as punishment for adultery and incest. In 2002 the head of the judiciary announced a moratorium on stoning. Iranian judges have later imposed sentences of stoning, but these are usually overturned higher up in the court system. However, Amnesty International has reported that in May 2006, a man and a woman was executed by stoning in a cemetery in Mashhad, by members of the Revolutionary Guard and Bassij Forces This is in direct violation of Iran's obligations as a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). By signing them, Iran has undertaken not to execute anyone for an offense committed when they were under the age of 18. These treaties also prohibit the use of torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading punishments Capital offenses in Iran include murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy, blasphemy, serious drug t

POPSTurkey is Not Having A Gay Ol' Time Turkey is not having a great time lately. The Armenian genocide declaration is pissing them off, their Parliament has given the okay for an invasion of Iraq, and now their EU membership application is being threatened because of their closing of a major gay organization's office. Who knows? If they keep this up, America might have to ban them from the Thanksgiving Day table.

POPS Bush Rules For International Court of Justice Authority As for the President, it looks like he's trying to bring into being the New World Order his father only talked about. It's not a legacy to be proud of. But it's one that a President Hillary Clinton would like to inherit. Trying to appease his foreign audience at The Hague, Bellinger declared that Bush was now trying to get 35 treaties, including UNCLOS, ratified. Bellinger declared that "international law binds us in our domestic system" and that the Bush Administration had entered into 429 international agreements and treaties last year alone. He bragged that, "�I have a staff of 171 lawyers, who work every day to furnish advice on legal matters, domestic and international, and to promote the development of international law as a fundamental element of our foreign policy."

POPSRussia Test 'father of all bombs' We've heard it all before. The result of which was huge investments in arms and technology and a scared population. Besides this is old new as they've used it in other wars. Always remember that the West via International Banking Organizations like the Bank of International Settlements " the father of all banks" actually funded the Soviets during the last "Cold War". This is published and accepted, and very worth while doing some research on. The entire exercise is to scare people and to terrorize the public into giving up their liberties. This is old stuff don't be fooled by it.
