why America pressurized the world for international laws and violate himself ?

I'll have to assume that you are asking why the United States is pushing Iran to give up its nuclear program while we maintain one ourselves.\n\nFirst, the nuclear program of the United States does not violate international law. Our program follows conventions agreed to by numerous nations and treaties. Iran will not even open up its program for people to look at. Indeed, Iran denies that a nuclear weapons program exists.\n\nSecond, the United States has displayed six decades of responsible nuclear weapons handling. Iran has displayed nearly three decades of sponsoring terror across the world.\n\nThird, the United States embraces and protects democracy. Iran fails to even recognize them and vows to wipe them off the face of the earth.\n\nFourth, the United States is a nation of laws which, for the most part, get followed. They are written by men who have time to ponder the intent and impact of the laws being written. Iran is a fundamentalist Muslim state whose leaders rule according to whatever their twisted view of the Koran tells them to.\n\nHope that answers your question.\n\nHave a great day, Jock-o!  :-)

I totally agree with you. Why can the US have nuclear bombs and wmd and we do have them. Why cant other countries. Its none of our business. Read the constitution we are not to go to war with any other country unless that country attacks us. But what do we do we invade countries that have disputes with other countries and stick our big fat noses into everything. No wonder America is a HATED country.

I seem to remember reading that the early American colonists didn't much like the principle of taxation without representation. \n\nThe US role as "the world police" is purely self appointed and purely in the interests of protecting the American Empire, which has at it's heart the protection of the American economy and globalisation.\n\nIf you bother reading a slight amount of world history, you will see that the US used to complain about us Brits doing exactly the thing.

With questions like that, is it any wonder why the world mocks the United States?

It happens all over the world, even bad countries aren't held accountable.\n\nSuch as israel for instance in its occupation of Palestinian lands since 1967. Israel was caught breaking the law (occupying another people's land) why is it that it was protected by the US (through Veto Power) and not militarily kicked out like any other normal country would have been? (eg. Iraq out of Kuwait etc.)\n\nSo in conclusion, the proper answer to your good question would be that the world isn't fair and just because some people have GUNS and "protection", (like some states have BIG GUNS and "protection"), the law is lenient with them.\n\nLuv ya! :)\n\nBye Bye

Because the USA is a great big hypocrite.

US policy is indeed a double standard because it is for the international corporations.  We end up supporting the interests of these corporations, maximizing their profits at the expense of the local populations, while ruining the reputation of this country in the process.  US citizens know little of this while the press here  makes it all seem to be of signal benefit to mankind.  There are those that feel a corporation can actually dump toxic material in underdeveloped countries, knowing that even if they are sued for doing so, because such a country is poor, the penalty for doing so is still so low the corporation loses little.  It is hard to believe that men can think this way and still sleep at night.  The world needs international police that will punish this form of behavior.

Because it is currently one of the most corrupt and hypocritical anywhere -- all the while the US is preaching that laws should be respected, our own govt is breaking the laws and shredding the Constitution on a daily basis.

Some Americans are guilty for all disasters in the world! It's all because of their greediness and not respecting anybody but themselves!

The US government's foreign policy dictates that democracy be spread around the world.  The World Court did try and hold the US for war crimes.  The US told the world court to 'stick it'.  I believe it was Colin Powell they wanted to try.\n\nIf you don't like democracy.  Good for you.  Just stay out of the US.  Thank you.

The United States must abide by laws that govern such things as international trade and human rights.  The United States, as is with every other nation, is not required to abide by the edicts passed by the United Nations.  \n\nIf they elect not to abide by a law that it feels is unfair or against the United States' interests they can refuse to uphold that law.  The consequences could include cooled relationships with other countries, embargos and even U N sanctioned war.

International law - no grounds for it.\n\nA stronger case could be made for treason trials for several Democratic leaders.  Are you in?

With the latest reports out of Iraq and across the world, it is evident that the United States has broken many of the U.N. charter rules.These include torture and the basic rules of war. I know that this is an unpopular choice, but sometimes the correct response is not always the most popular.

the question is why is it that the US can do anything while the others need to have their permission beforehand...

Bush and his fellow neocons are avaricious, power-mad, and short-sighted. They lack the spiritual vision to realize that they are grossly abusing the awesome power they wield. Consumed by self-absorption and a compulsion to continue the morally repugnant policy of Manifest Destiny, they fail to realize that America's ways are not superior to the ways of the rest of the world. Sadly, America's rulers believe they are justified in using invasion, occupation and torture to impose "democracy, capitalism and Christianity" on other nations, just as their predecessors did with Native Americans. Amnesty International has given them a painful reminder of their immoral, illegal acts, and of the limitations of their power.
