Yer sorry I really hate inflaming discussions too much but I am actually hoping for a future political career and although I am a Liberal, in my political party (The Labor Party) I actually have some both more moderate and far left views.

In regards to international policy I am quite radical in the sense I would support sanctions against the United States government (amongst others) for:
1. Having a nuclear arsenal.
2. Refusing to sign the International Declaration on the Rights of the Child so some states can execute children.
3. Some of the most extreme war crimes extending to torture in regards to the occupation of Iraq (and most likely Afghanistan) at both Abu Ghraib (sp?) and Guantanamo Bay where prisoners have been held now for close to four or five years without having charges laid.

I would also consider the legitimacy of the United States leadership based on the fact I don't believe that your electoral bodies allow independent observers to view your elections, however I could be wrong on that.

Well, I'm not one of those people that's going to attack you if I disagree with what you have to say. That's what creates so many problems is when people shout each other down all the time and are never willing to listen to what someone else has to say.
