The Monarchy of Hipocrasy

U.S. attitude a stumbling block in nuclear talks, Blix says

Are we the nation of hipocrasy, or what? Over and over, we keep saying that North Korea, Iran, etc. need to stop pursuing nuclear (that's nu-cle-ar, Georgie) weapons, and we complain that they are violating the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. However, the US still has nuclear weapons, refuses to disarm, and Bush has even spoken of ignoring the test-ban treaty to develop & test new weapons. How can we tell others to stop if we keep going; what kind of role model are we? This nation, and specifically its leaders, seem to believe we are a holy Christian nation that is exempt to the laws, treaties, pacts, bans, and other rules of the lowly non-US humans in all the other countries. Why are we so special? Why is it that we think we are so high and mighty that we can keep our nuclear weapons and hold the beating hearts of every other nation on Earth in our hands? Is Bush God? I think not.
