It's always tough having any type of dialogue with you G-man. My response was aimed at your last paragraph.
Actually, the treaty was signed in 1997. The President can't veto it. The Senate, however, voted against it (95-0).
If the Senate truly believes that it is a good idea, why not ratify it now?
Let's face it: the odds are that, if a Democrat wins in 08, he or she will probably do exactly what Bill Clinton did with the treaty back in 1997: make a lot a noise about it, but not actually put it in practice.
It'll be like the Iraq pullout: they'll promise it to the leftie base to get them energized but as soon as a Democrat takes office they'll realize they can't actually act on that promise.
Your comparison to the treaty & Iraq are not valid. Bush's veto does come into play as it concerns Iraq.
