then I bet every country with American POW's will ignore it as well, and that will only make matters worse.
Errr... they already do. Big time.

Not saying you are anything like Hitler, I know for a fact you are not
Yeah, I didn't die 60 years ago, so I'm probably not him.

Anyway - in the international arena, when you haven't got that many players, and certain players are substantially stronger than the others - the will use their power to their advantage. America can impose solutions on other countries, mediate, or make its own decisions on things. That's only because it's the world's power, and no-one can challenge them (yet) on that title. The UN can talk it all it wants, but that's all it can do - talk. Possibly, the only way to hurt a super-power without starting a war (which you would lose), is through financial means (boycotts, etc). I don't see however anyone stopping trade with the USA - do you? I guess it's not that important to them.

Frankly, I think you should be glad America is running things, and not, say, Nazi Germay or Soviet Russia. It could've happened that way, you know.
