you'd have to write the reservation to say this treaty shall not bind the united states to comply with the standards of the treaty and have no domestic legal effect. that reservation would be fine and i would support the treaty at that point in time. it's meaningless then. what's argued is that the treaty has no domestic meaning, and treaties, when we accept a treaty, the only nation in the world that we're binding is us. we don't bind anybody else. our ratification has no external, legal effect anywhere. what's argued is external political effect, and there's no record shown that our ratification of any other treaty has had external political effect that's been effective in seeking compliance with other human rights treaties. it's a shell game, an empty promise being made. we need to determine whether or not we're going to comply with this treaty or not, and if we're not going to comply with the treaty, we ought not to ratify it. the number one thing the country should do with treaty obligations is keep them in good faith. >> mr. chairman, if i could, when i was speaking to the doctor

so that i think is right, and i has put the united states in a tougher bind. but the dredge strikes are not the root of this, there are many different roots from an american perspective, and the people that have written into you, show that they look back and they say 9/11 is the root of this. and throughout the past over a decade now, pakistan has done all too little from an american perspective, to deal waythat specific problem. and the killing of bin laden and the way that he was killed specifically i for many americans proves that point beyond all reasonable doubt. >> the perception of america includes so many conspiracy theories think of that, here are some other stories we following. >> every morning from 5 to 9am al jazeera america brings you more us and global news than any other american news channel. find out what happened and what to expect. >> start every morning, every day, 5am to 9 eastern with al jazeera america. >> from our headquarters in new york, here are the headlines this hour. >> al jazeera america is the only news channel that brings you
