From the Paper:

"George W. Bush rightly insists he is not an isolationist. However, his ongoing failure to ratify international treaties is not well received in the International community. At the current rate, Bush will end his four-year presidential term with more than 40 international treaties destroyed or significantly weakened. The Bush administration has rejected the Anti-ballistic Missile Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol on global warming, the ban on biological weapons, and has further attempted to distance itself from International Criminal Court and withdraw the nuclear ban from Senate consideration.
