Where does it say anywhere that it is illegal for us to have said weapons? And as far as I know we haven't signed any treaty, we have no resolutions banning them from us, where is the problem?[/QUote]

record of using WMD
Hiroshima and Nagasaki 59 years ago? Get serious.
I'm quite serious, we are the only country to ever use atomic weapons. Ad homs are not arguments at the big-person table...

Oh you mean countries that don't abide by resolutions and laws that they signed, oh ok. As far as I know it was only called "un-provoked" by the losing team as well.

Whats wrong with this? Keeping a leg up in the intelligence game, yeah that's really detrimental to the safety of the United States. With you saying it like that, you'd think we were the only ones...
I'll let you have this one, it doesn't make us any more rogue than anyone else

If you want to play the name game and call other countries rogue you need to look at the US' track record.
Yes shame on us, the evil war mongering United States.
Again, big-person table.
Also, since you decided to go line-by-line on my post and you left off the Kyoto protocol and Landmines, I'm going to say "silence is compliance" and assume those were conceded points.
