“The United States has always been defined by the oceans. For centuries they’ve separated our nation from potential invaders. They also have served as a lifeline, providing abundant food in colonial times and vital trade today. About 20 percent of the world’s oceanbourne trade passes through American ports. So it makes sense that the Bush administration would want to protect America’s freedom of access to the oceans. Unfortunately, it’s trying to take a big step in the wrong direction. For the second time in three years, President Bush has asked the Senate to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (widely known as LOST, or Law of the Sea Treaty). The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has taken it up.” (09/30/07)
