Bush Will Force Japan to Withdraw From UN

Weekly Post (S.Korea, Japan) ^ | 3.24.03

Don't think I've ever used that many "'s to try to stress a point - but too many people think the Korean conflict ended.
The North and South don't think so.

>>Why do you guys insist upon calling it a WAR. It's NOT a >>war. It's THE ENFORCEMENT PHASE OF RESOLUTION 1441.

Oh goodness. In a sense thats what I was saying initially. I think war is just a term that people use loosely. I think military action would be a better term but I think there are some disadvatages to soldiers though when they are injured or killed in military actions that are not declared wars but dont quote me on that...It may only apply to those situations when they are under an action of the UN.

Not a big deal.. I think you just misunderstood me. You said you must of missed the declaration of war. I'm saying that from his view.. as well as should be all our views... We have obviously declared war on Iraq.. although it may not be formally approved in congress. The American people have spoken(with the approval rating) that we are indeed at war. I think the 2nd response to my post is best.. we need to redefine our defition of declaration at war.

The UN needs our money, Japan's and the UK's money to keep its doors open.

GW and Tony have whopped the head off of the UN Chicken. It is running around and acting like a chicken when seen at a distance. Soon it will start flopping and fall over.

This wide open criticism/condemnation of the UN and the French by Japan is something new for the post WWII Japan.

If you want to have fun with a moderate or liberal ask them how long the UN will last after their failure with Iraq? They go beserk or get the look of deer in your headlights.

Lets not forget the UK, Spain, Italy, Poland and most of Eastern Europe with your proposed group.

Canada, Mexico and most of South America deserve each other. They and the other losers of the world can support each other in UN2.

What would you call an organization that went from the middle east to the Pacific, includes America, the UK, Spain, Italy and a lot smaller European countries?

The Freedom Coalition?

There are two articles here on FR, neither one of which I bookmarked, or I'd gladly post the link. I'll describe them, in the hopes that a freeper who saved them will post them:

1. A UN treaty which the US signed(and possibly ratified, but never really enforced) brought a public rebuke on the US by some UN POS (don't think it was KA). 'It' actually said that if a country signed a UN document, it was expected to adhere to it. This rebuke may have been deserved, not so much for the implication that UN 'laws' outrank our laws, but because our presidents have happily signed UN treaties that are in direct conflict with our laws thinking it's safe to do that as the UN has no way to force us to obey. Photo op treaty signing. Which I always feared could bite us in the butt, if the UN ever got its global taxation, global standing army, global supreme court...The treaty in question would have allowed any journalist or UN staffer to enter ANY US prison to speak to ANY prisoner...Why we ever signed is a mystery,but why we ignored the signature is obvious: That is not the way our prisons (especially level 2s and higher) are run!

2.Our patriotic senate one day sat down and ratified several dozen pending UN treaties pertaining to the enviromnment and especially desertification (which is listed in the MS declaration ). They did this when most of the senate was out over the weekend, by simple majority, without reading the documents aloud, and without recording who voted yay and who voted nay. This was in summer/fall 2000. Sounds impossibleto believe, but I remember reading several sulphurous threads about it right here.
