In that case, we'll put everything on hold. Do you actually have any ideas of your own, or do you copy everything out of the Guardian?
Now, let me make myself clear - I'm not sure that a renewal of hostilities in Iraq is a good idea (there are plenty of other priorities in the region that need to be addressed first, in my opinion), and I really don't think that it will happen anyway (though the current sabre-rattling that has all of the Euro-whiners so upset is leading us where we want to go - weapons inspectors back in Iraq and greater international scrutiny of Sadaam's regime). But as for it being legal, the coalition forces (remember us?) signed a *conditional* cease-fire agreement with Iraq. If our enemies are poised to deliver WMD against us or our allies, yeah, we're going to act. And I'm pretty sure they're not going to pick London or Champaign-Urbana first, so your politically-motivated bitching and moaning seems a little vacant and sheltered to the rest of us.
The UN is a great, big, fat joke, and exists for no other reason than to reassure the lesser countries of the world that their opinions matter. The quicker that y'all figure this out, the faster you'll be sitting next Thanksgiving at the grownup table instead of the kids table (I'm sorry if that colloquialism is lost on your sorry former-colonialist ass).
Getting back to my original point for responding to this claptrap - aren't you guys embarrassed by the "manufactured dissent" of the original post? How do you listen to the same, tired old rhetoric that's trotted out every time that you get the chance to kick the US in the shin?
So you're pissed off about everything that I've said, and don't care for my mocking of your "revolutionary" principles. Fine. Red - "red" - alert; no one cares. Your ideas have no standing, no support, within the broader population. I wish I could be there when your ideals crumble before you on CNN. |
