No wonder why he is out of town. This way he can blame whoever from the US that signs it. My bet is Kerry.
When the leaders of your species all agree to sign a suicide pact, it does limit your choices going forward. You can either start popping popcorn, start popping lead and/or start popping leaders. Worldwide revolution is coming to save a civilization that has become suicidal.
