Reagan-Bush I administrations. Now Bush II and his administration believe that the.
treaty is too restrictive and sees the treaty as an interference with the United States.
defense planning with the threats from Iraq and North Korea. Now Bush has plans.
to develop space based lasers to knock out missiles in their boost phase, new test sites.
are to be established, and the administration wants to use radar systems that weren't.
designed for National Missile Defense missions. If the administration implement any.
of these plans it would be inconsistent with the treaty and for this reason Bush II has.
chosen to propose a joint withdrawal from the treaty. Bush II and his proposal could.
lead to suspicions due to his withdrawal. The Bush administration has already stated.
they will deploy missile defense at any cost no matter what and this would be a.
violation of this treaty. The cancellation of this treaty will also result in the Untied.
States being regarded as untrustworthy. .
The Charter of the United Nations of 1945.
If the United States was to invade Iraq, the Bush administration would be.
violating article 2, section 4, of the United Nations Charter, which forbids the threat.
or use of force against the territorial integrity of political independence of any state.
Article 51 of the Charter reserves for each nation the right of self-defense against an.
armed attack, but this doesn't justify a United States invasion, because there has.
been no armed attack from Iraq. The purpose of agreement is to maintain.
international peace and security and to prevent threats to the peace. Instead of the.
Bush administration suppressing acts of aggression or breaches of peace, it would.
rather go to war with Iraq. By making threats of war, the Bush administration is.
breaching international peace. The administration is also violating this agreement by.
decreasing universal peace among nations, with it's threats to attack Iraq. The Bush.
administration should instead solve the international problems with Iraq without.
