Why would any country have relations with the United States then? Chile,
Iran, Nicaragua, Phillipines, Grenada are all examples of the US stepping
out of bounds. Expecting other countries to obey World Court judgements, and
then ignoring those which the US sees as being incorrect seems pretty
immoral. Not practicing what is preached about the sale of weapons for 
the DEFENSE of Israel also seems quite uncouth.

The USSR has its own set of problems, and yes, I am not unthankful to be
living in the United States. However, to say that thge morals of one country
(or religion, as in the recent flamage about how hedonistic Moslems are) are
any worse than the morals of another is a comparison which cannot be made so
easily.
