If the treaty is such a great and wonderful thing, then the European nations should just get off their butts and sign it. Maybe if there is this huge groundswell of support and acceptance on the part of Europe, the United States will get caught up in the general celebration and in a fit of good will and camraderie go sign along with them. If Europeans want to complain that the US should go sign this treaty, I'd suggest that they first come here with a photocopy of their signed treaty & demonstrate that they really mean it. Otherwise, it looks suspiciously like the Europeans *don't* want to sign the treaty but still want to look "green" - so they blame their lack of signature on the US. I'm willing to be proven wrong. Just sign it and post a copy on the net. :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ "David C.
