Not to worry...If the U.N. holds true to form, we have have at LEAST 12 years to respond to any charges or resolutions files against us...

Truth is stranger than strange fiction. If I had seen this in a futuristic movie back in 1990 I'd have thought that the writer of this B-rated plot was a real maroon.

It's from an article written by an anonymous S-OPs soldier in the mountains of Afghanistan. Here's some more:
"Let the message go forth to the Al Qaeda, other terrorists, and those who want to back them anywhere on the globe. Think you're tough? You want to kill our families, blow up civilians? Stand by! We are sending our very best to hunt you down and take you out. These are the guys who are coming to get you. These are the guys who will climb into the mountains and into the darkened caves halfway around the world and look you in the eye, toe to toe, with any weapon at hand (ours or yours), to take you out. These guys have trained longer, are stronger, harder, faster, tougher, and more relentless and lethal than anything you will ever produce. And we will arm them with the best money can buy, from Spectre gunships and thermobaric bombs to knives sharper than any box cutter you can sneak on a plane. They are now on your trail. They're hunting you down. How's it feel to be a terrorist now? Never bring a box cutter to a Jihad."Welcome to the 21st century diplomacy . . . kind of makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy! =^)

Actually this could be good news!!
Khaddafi remembers well what happened the last time he pissed off America...
and further recall, the French refusal to help us in that incident likely cost us the crew of an F-111!!

"...warm and fuzzy..." The only "warm and fuzzy" will be in the shorts of the Al Qaida banditos when the flash-bangs start going off at the entrance to their caves. "I love the smell of Moabs in the moring..."

"...new form of diplomacy..."In the form of steel from above?
Diplomacy reinforced by steel.
The timing on Libya's assuming the chair, at the pinnacle of U.N. failure through hypocrisy, couldn't be better.

Thank God our forefathers recognized the inherent weakness of a pure democracy and decided to use instead a representative democracy.
We see those inherent weaknesses in the U.N. I certainly hope Social Studies teachers around the country are taking advantage of this splendid example in order to teach students how poor a philosophy of One man, one vote is for the governance of men.
He could show them how one man could rule all others when a unanimous vote is required. Imagine a town thusly governed. One man decides to self interest before the group. They would have to give into his demands before they could enact even the most benevolent of rules.
I dont think, however, that such is likely to take place. Not enough time in class to get past the important, everyone must think exactly alike tolerance lessons.

One man one vote was a Brennan opinion in the 60s that changed our Constitution considerably. There was nothing unconstitutional about having State senates that protected interests of rural areas, for example, as demonstrated by the US Senate. Yet, only 40 years old, that platitude is one of the most widely accepted notions in American political thought.
