It didn't matter that your weren't talking about the UN, you were describing it to a T. Not only that, but it is an organization funded by the "big boys", to allow the small time gangster wannabees to walk all over them.
IOW we be paying for our own destruction, and, predestruction, for our own Wimpy World Wuss status. I don't think any of the big players have the testicular status necessary to buck the UN and go off like some cowboy without world opinion firmly attached to their little donkey.
Oh forget that someone already tried and we are still paying for the indiscretion, but wait, cowboy did go through the UN adnauseam, and what good did it do? So I completely agree, but someone has to step forward and the countries other than ours are content so far to let us step forward and take the heat. Just hope we don't cave under the weight of world opinion.
The United States of America, the only great power on the face of the earth. Let's hope we continue to elect leaders with what it takes to do the right thing regardless of the consequences, because if they do the right thing we won't have to worry much about consequences.
Great Article. Thansk for posting.
He's completely spot on. Remeber all the outrage when Israel targeted a power plant for destruction, depriving the poor Lebanese of electricity?
I bet you haven't heard about THIS on the news:
"Syria cuts power supplies to Lebanon"

It's an AP article, but i found it on JPost.
Where are the protest by the Muslim world?
A google search of "israel hezbollah "power plant"" leads one to about 1300 results.
A google search of syria "cut power" lebanon leads one to 8 results, at least one of them an Amnesty International report on Israeli war crimes.
Unbelieveable.
This is the Orwellian reality of much of the Arab-Muslim world today, where Muslim and non-Muslim lives are too often seen as readily and contemptuously disposable -- except when they become handy tools of propaganda against Jews, Hindus and Americans.

A great closing line.
Might be BBC propaganda.
I wouldn't take those quotes as proof of the Lebanese people's opinion.
When a Muslim kills another Muslim in a terrorist/suicide attack does the unwillingly dead Muslim get 72 virgins as well?
