Don't discount the power of bribery

The amount of money and influence poured into Congressional coffers by the media cartel is huge. Add to that the fact that both elected officials and bureaucrats suffer from "star worship" as the general populace. Just look at the Hilary and Obama campaigns: cozying up to Hollywood stars is a major activity by these people. You don't think that they won't sell the common Joe down the river just to party with Elton John or Jennifer Aniston? Think again.

On the bright side, the federal government has a long history of ignoring international treaties and conventions that it doesn't care for. Protests from foreign governments to the Departments of State, Commerce, Treasury, Justice, they all go into the same wastebasket as the meaningless resolutions from the UN. Even though GWB has been the epitome of indifference to international law, I don't expect his successor to be much more cooperative, it's really ingrained in the rank-and-file bureaucracy as well.
