In further unhappy evidence of how ill-informed the American people are (blame the media), the Program on International Policy Attitudes found Bush supporters consistently ill-informed about Bush's stands on the issues (Kerry-ans, by contrast, are overwhelmingly right about his positions). Eighty-seven percent of Bush supporters think he favors putting labor and environmental standards into international trade agreements. Eighty percent of Bush supporters believe Bush wants to participate in the treaty banning landmines. Seventy-six percent of Bush supporters believe Bush wants to participate in the treat banning nuclear weapons testing. Sixty-two percent believes Bush would participate in the International Criminal Court. Sixty-one percent believes Bush wants to participate in the Kyoto Treaty on global warming. Fifty-three percent does not believe Bush is building a missile defense system, a.k.a. 'Star Wars.'

As I understand it, the International Criminal Court requires violations of the US Constitution; and as the US is a net carbon sink, Kyoto just requires us to make changes to be even more restricted than other countries.
