you don't get it do you? The structure of the UN is about democracy and
participation of the nations of the world in making decisions that
affect everybody.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep getting up in the morning deciding who
is going to be for breakfast.

The UN is a lopsided organization that is anti-US, and while not totally
worthless, in some respects they are even worse than worthless.

Of course, as a Jew, I'm biased. When terroists go out with the expressed
intent and kill a dozen women and children in Israel, that is considered
"regrettable." When Israel retaliates and kills a terrorist that
masterminded the deaths of hundreds of Israelis, and in the process kills a
dozen women and children which the terrorist has surrounded himself, that is
a "war crime." The Palestinians say that terror is the only way they can
fight against the Jews because they don't have the ability to conduct a war.
Well then, how come the UN is sitting on (and ignoring) a petition to make
homicide bombing a war crime? How come when the Arab nations conduct a war
and acquire land from Israel they are allowed to keep it, but if during a
defensive action against Arab aggression Israelis get back some of that land
they are expected to give it back?

You might think I'm anti-Arab as well as anti-UN. I don't have a problem
with peaceful people, and if peaceful I couldn't care less what genetic
material went into making the person. I have a problem with terrorists, and
I don't care what religion or region they call their own. I'm just getting
sick and tired of some of the garbage that is going on in the world now, and
when Colin Powell equates terrorist homocide bombings with defensive
actions, I get ****ed. When Presidential candidates think that we have to
equate terrorist attacks with defensive actions so we can be "an honest
broker," I get very ****ed.

My apologies to the group for my rant, but I just had to get that off my
chest.
