There is no country in the world that defends its own sovereignty with
such hysterical vigilance as the United States of America. This is a
nation born from its glorious refusal to accept overseas control. Almost
two and a half centuries ago the American colonists rose up and
violently asserted the principle that they – and they alone – should
determine the government of America, and not George III or his
ministers. To this day the Americans refuse to kneel to almost any kind
of international jurisdiction. Alone of Western nations, the US declines
to accept that its citizens can be subject to the rulings of the
International Criminal Court in The Hague. They have not even signed up
to the Convention on the Law of the Sea. Can you imagine the Americans
submitting their democracy to the kind of regime that we have in the EU?"
