WOW!!!
The posts on this thread got a little overheated and off subject. As far at the poll, no I do not think the U.S. should be audited for weapons of mass distruction(does anyone else HATE this term?) by the U.N. The U.S. has not signed any U.N. treaty requiring that they allow such inspections and in my opinion, no nation should be required to give up parts of its sovereignty at the mere whim of the U.N.
That being said, if a nation or group of nations can convince or coerce a nation to agree to such inspections, then they have every right to do so. As has been said, Russia and the U.S. do have scheduled and regular inspections. These inspections exsist becaue they are in the best interests of both countries. Iraq agreed to inspections after the Gulf War. The U.N. carried out those inspections as they should have.
