"peacekeepers who monitor a demilitarized zone"

Are these real UN peacekeepers or terrorists in UN uniforms.

I personally, like the Colt Peacekeeper.

U.N. peacekeepers recently spotted armed U.S. Marines cutting a fence between Kuwait and Iraq, an act which was reported to the Security Council on Thursday as a possible violation of international law.

Silly goose... that fence wasn't put there to keep people from the Kuwait side from getting in, it is to keep So-Damn-Insane and his thugs out. Besides, a couple of Marines cutting a fence are the least of the insane one's (and by definition: the UN's) worry.

I am getting pretty tired of hearing what the UN thinks about what we do. This is a free and sovereign nation, and we don't have to answer to the UN in spite of what the liberals think.

Oh yes, the United Nations. And why are we still a member and paying around one third of all dues recieved by that organization? It's an organization whose members detest us for the most part.

I suspect that that is being taken care of as we speak. Well, in a round about, won't happen tomorrow, sort of way. A world body of sorts is needed. But, the UN is a relic of the cold war. And it, along with many other forces and relics of that war are being vetted and dealt with. It is time. We're playing global 3-d chess, with a strong helping of Texas poker thown in to make things interesting.

Of course we're not bluffing anymore. We've had aces in the hole for quite some time, we just chose not to use them until the stakes got too high not to use them.

Good thing President Bush told them to stick the International Court where the sun don't shine.

The UN is so pathetic I can't stand it. We will be much better off after we show how irrelevant and uneffective the organization is.

Can someone give us a description of what a 21,000 pound daisy cutter will do? I'm asking for serious responses by people who've actually seen the damage caused by bombs.
