Neocons are Idiots

One thing that seems to drive neocons crazy is that all these treaties, like the Geneva Conventions or the United Nations, that the US has or would enter into is that they confine American behavior. It seems that the neocons can’t really understand why on earth the US would enter into a treaty like that. What these idiots don’t want to acknowledge is that one doesn’t enter a treaty to modify one’s own behavior, one enters into a treaty to modify the other guy’s behavior. We didn’t enter into the Geneva Conventions because we wanted to curb our own behavior, but we wanted to curb the other guy’s behavior, and have them not torture our prisoners. Assuming these neocons forget that could explain why Al Gonzales, et al, sneer at the Geneva Conventions as “quaint” documents. What a bunch of assholes we have driving this nation’s foreign policy.
