TREATY TRAVESTY

As an anti-two-party system independent voter, it's difficult to admit the
Republican-controlled Senate did the right thing in stopping Clinton's 
push for the nuclear test ban treaty.  Clearly, it was a sham and little
more than a scarecrow limply hung on a partisan political post by an
opportunistic presidential legacy-seeker supported by irresponsible media
and Democratic Party cohorts desperately in search of hysterical issues
for the 2000 elections.
 
The Clinton Administration and congressional Democrats are more
of a threat to the national security of the United States than the lack of 
a nuclear test ban treaty, especially one that contains no teeth.  
Indeed, this president and his party flies have blatantly compromised our 
sensitive technology, nuclear weapons and left America absent nuclear 
testing and readiness during his entire tenure in office. 

Still, France and Europe decry the Senate's rejection as a threat to world
peace, but only after they've completed their own nuclear testing, not to 
mention self-serving objections from Russia and phony condemnation by 
nuclear hostiles like China and North Korea.  In the face of instability in
the Balkans, Russia, Pakistan, India and the Middle East, the United 
States stands alone as the deterrent to the collapse of world peace.

The American People have no security in this tentative world without the
overwhelming social, economic and military might, nuclear superiority 
and a comprehensive missile protection system.  Even that security is 
fragile at best in an atmosphere of media-driven chaos, inept 
leadership, and a government beset by political terrorism, congressional 
cowards and the betrayal of democracy.

This is yet another example of why we need direct democracy in America.
