Again, according to Article VI of our own Constitution, we are REQUIRED to honor the treaties that are properly ratified and signed. (see reply #12)
Otherwise, the word of the US government isn't worth a warm bucket of spit. Some would argue that it isn't worth spit anyway (just ask the Lakota Sioux), but the existence of past transgressions do not excuse present ones..
If a treaty is no longer acceptable, then the executive branch is required to follow the proper legal procedures for nullifying the treaty -- it can't just ignore them as Bush has done.
