If they take away my access to the net, I'll just have to start playing with guns again.

[Smartass]

Maybe.   However, due to diplomatic immunity, it would be
more like asking them to leave.

Forget getting the money back.  It would prove
why the U.S. couldn't get a UN vote to go to war.

The money is written off. Victims very rarely recoop financial losses.

But terrorists are terrorists and need to be dealt with.

What is the difference between Saddam Hussein and these people? 'Diplomatic immunity'???? A license to fund death?

[eXe]

Sounds scary.. like Oil for bandwith programs and all lol

[Seadog Bytes]

D*mn! ...All Democrats, huh...?   Who'da ever GUESSED???!!!

"Do you think anyone will prosecuted all they've done? They'd never get what I would sentence them with. I'm not all that knowledgeable on all the UN shenanigans, but what I have heard is horrid. I'm too cynical; all the bad guys are getting off Scot free this millennium."

There could be prosecutions, but I doubt it.  They're covered by diplomatic immunity.   If the Senate can get the UN to produce documents, they can probably prove fraud. Because it occurred in the U.S., they might ask the Justice Department to prosecute.   It will be both interesting, and embarrassing to the UN, and vindicating for the Bush Administration.

Diplomats and Missions in Washington get away with murder.   Very few end up in jail or pay fines.   However, because of the gravity of Iraq and the phony voting that took place, now coupled with billions of dollars in oil for food fraud, anything is possible.    It all hinges on obtaining documents.   It will be interesting to see if the Senate issues subpoenas for production of documents, then and only then will we know that they are serious.

I hear you...you brought to mind an accident the brat of a diplomat had and got off with. How about deportation?

[B4Ranch]

Anyone who replied to my thread probably made the list because it shows an above normal, out of the circle intelligence level.

[B4Ranch]

True, the UN doesn't create, produce, or accomplish anything but it is supported by governments searching to control their populations.

Why is our Republic a member of this group?

That is what should keep you awake at night!

[Quix]

Yes.

But, we also move inexorably toward what's wonderously afterwards ---

Christ's eternal reign.

[Quix]

Honorable patriotic resistence to tyranny seems like a pretty reasonable thing!

[Quix]

Quite plausible.

[Smartass]

It's all done through diplomatic channels. They're asked to pack and leave, and usually do.   But this time, they'll be laughing all the way to the bank...of course, at our expense.

[MissAmericanPie]

It is supported by governments trying to control "Our" population.

I will never forget Hannity reading a U.N. release that stated, "Due to SUV's and urban sprawl, Americans have forfeited their right to control over their resources".

I don't remember forfeiting a darn thing, do you?

UNITED NATIONS ESTABLISHES WORKING GROUP ON INTERNET GOVERNANCE

Well gosh, who could be against an idea like this? They could put Islamic Republic of Iran or maybe Democratic People's Republic of Korea in charge of it. Yup the more I think about it the better I feel about it.

[Smartass]

The Internet has an upside and downside. The terrorists are using it as a means of communications.   While we in the U.S.A. want First Amendment Rights, that the UNITED NATIONS GROUP ON INTERNET GOVERNANCE does not understand.   Nor should they have control over our sovereignty.   For example, in China, when the government decides to pull the plug, the plug is pulled.   We`don't want the UN to control us like that.   Crapo, It will be just another interesting situation to watch out for.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

This does have the smell of the Clintons on it. Hillary wants government regulators to "edit" internet content and eliminate those pesky articles about the Clintons on WorldNetDaily and Newsmax. But I'm not too concerned about the UN controlling the internet. If the UN tries to stop free expression on the World Wide Web, the western captalist countries that want free expession can build a new Western Internet in a few months. All we have to do is light some of the fiber optic cables connecting the US, Britain, Canada, Japan, Australia, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Italy and any other country that believes in free enterprise and doesn't want to be under UN control. Bingo, in a few months you have a new unregulated Western Web and before long all the captalist countries will hook up to the new network. (Meanwhile the old network will fall apart under the mismangement of France, Sweden, Greece, Brazil and the other socialist countries.)

You see the internet is nothing more than servers, phone lines, switches, routers, and client computers. It's extremely flexible and essentially impossible to regulate without UN troops occupying the entire world. If the blue helmets try to storm our beachs (or the UN tries to put our troops under UN control) then we have real problems.
