[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dr. Obvious: [QB] The Schlieffen Plan was Germany's plan for the quick take over of Europe , the plan called for Germany to throw their entire army at France , take it over and bring them back to face Russia who hopefully hadnt mobilized their Armies by then. Anyway , on the topic of Treaties. The Signing of a treaty doesnt always insure compliance , for example Germany's violation of the Treaty of Versailles which barred them from rebuilding their army after WW1 , we all know how well that worked out. Another , more modern example is Iraqs Weapons Of Mass Destruction sanctions. After the Persian Gulf Cease Fire , Iraq agreed to halt their Bio , Chem and Nuclear weapons programs and allow for Random UN Weapons inspections. After agreeing to this they backed out , and kicked the inspectors out and forced the UN to renegotiate and of course the UN got suckered into a weaker deal taht allowed the Iraqis to turn away inspectors when they wanted too. Anyway the problem with these and other treaties is that they fall onto the back burner as time goes by , they lose their importance as other problems arise. Personally I'm not going to form an opinion on the US not signing these treaties untill i read the treaties in full , you cant judge a treaty by its name. I mean a treaty to end production of Bio Chemical Agents sounds nice , but as has been stated , what if this Treaty also limits production of agents used to create vaccines or counter - measures for a chemical attack etc. Its just a matter of not judging a book by its cover.
