This is really more for anyone to read. Just thought some of you might like a little flashback of history on the UN/League of Nations. Back in 1919, the Senate was debating whether to join the League of Nations. Some really stupid people were for it as the only answer for real peace, or "peace at any price". Now that people in the liberal media and others are saying now that we have the unanimous consent of the Security Council, we can go to war with Iraq and disarm them.(For clarity, I support the war with Iraq, I just dont think we need the UN's approval) Read this and chew on it. Its by a Senator Borah:

"Ah But you say that there must be unianimous consent of the Council when making desicions relating to the peace and war of the world, and that there is vast protection in unanimous consent. I do not wish to speak disparangly, but has not every division and dismemberment of every nation which has suffered dismemberment taken place by unanimous consent for the last 300years? ....Take another view of it. We are sending to the Council one man. That one man represents 110 million people(1920 figure). Here, sitting in the Senate, we have two from every state in the Union, and over in the other house we have represetatives in accordance with population, and the responsibilities are spread out in accordance with our obligations to our constituency. But now we are transferring to one man the stupendous power of representing the sentiment of 110 million people in tremendous questions which may involve the peace or may involve war."
There is more good stuff on this. But its rather long. He also goes into that the principles and virtues of our republic cant be mixed with that of the Old World." These distinguishing virtues of a real republic you cannot commingle with the discordant and destructive forces of the Old World and still preserve them."

Makes you feel good knowing that wonderful people like the Syrians, Communist Chinese, Socialist French and other great people full of American ideals are on the Security Council at the UN to give us permission to defend ourselves.Give me a break!!

If anyone is interested in more of what they said in 1919 let me know and I will get that on here for your perusal. Thanks.
