Ho hum. Another month, another international treaty the Administration refuses to acknowledge. Today it’s the International Criminal Court. Before that it was Kyoto, the ABM Treaty, and Nuclear Non-Proliferation. For a group of people who vow to “shape” the world rather than react to it, these guys have a peculiar way of going about it. Without engagement, how does one “shape?” Without credibility, who cares what one says? Here’s Rumsfeld in the Post article, asserting the court would be a disincentive to US military engagement: “If so, it could be a recipe for isolationism – something that would be unfortunate for the world, given that our country is committed to engagement in the world and to contributing to a more peaceful and stable world.” Interesting logic, that. Being isolationist could contribute to isolationism. Hmm.
