<p>I love how over half these items involve the U.N.</p>

<p>The U.N.'s sole purpose is to pull up the phone number of the United States Army</p>

<p>Ummn, “3) Which country was responsible for a car bomb which killed 80 civilians in Beirut in 1985, in a botched assassination attempt, thereby making it the most lethal terrorist bombing in modern Middle East history?”</p>

<p>So, my math may be a little shaky, but I’m pretty sure that 241 (the number of American servicemen killed in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing) is greater then 80. </p>

<h1>4"Which country’s illegal bombing of Libya in 1986 was described by the UN Legal Committee as a “classic case” of terrorism?"</h1>

<p>President Reagan said he had irrefutable evidence that Libya was responsible for the West Berlin night club bombing on 5 April 1986 which killed two American servicemen and a Turkish woman. Fifteen years after the air raids, a German court ruled that the Libyan secret service was responsible for the West Berlin bomb attack. In September 2004, Libya agreed to pay $35m to 150 non-US victims of the 1986 Berlin disco bomb…hmmn.</p>

<p>As for the rest…well, they sure don’t look that pretty but beats the living crap out of most every other major power in history.</p>

<p>Really, does not ratifying a treaty banning landmines (integral to the defence of South Korea from it proven unstable Northern brethern) compare to Stalin’s purposeful starvation of 18 million Ukranians? Or Habriyama’s Rwanda? Or even France’s war in Algeria?</p>

<p>I am surprised this person lives in America considering he hates it so much. He also phrases his questions in a nice way that is impossible to be on the opposing side, but for example if he discussed or revealed to us some of the details of those 15 things, we would all see how ridiculous this poster’s assertion s are</p>

<p>True or false, the United Nations is almost entirely composed of countries ruled by juntas, autocrats, murderous tyrants, theocrats, rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, and Methodists?</p>

9

<p>this is true</p>

10

<p>well gee if the UN is composed of those knds of countries, that meen the WORLD populations are controlled and isn’t it better that there is SOMEPLACE where they can talk to each other, even though it may not be perfect</p>

<p>as for dimwits, we can look at our own whitehouse</p>

<p>so to somehow, say, wow the UN, look it has some bad people, well the world is FULL bad leaders, some we even put into power, imagine that</p>

11

<p>Good I agree with you CGM, so now shouldnt we not give these bad people control over us, when ultimately their goal is to hurt us?</p>

12

<p>so you want to invade 'em all? it is just ever so effective</p>

<p>there are other ways</p>

13

<p>I agree with you. You are arguing with me about nothing. No one says to invade anyone unless thats the best option. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isnt. All that I said, and you seem to agree with me, is that we should not give bad people control over us when ultimately those bad people want to hurt us. So, CGM, considering they want to hurt us we should not take their condemnations, recommendations, and demands in the same light that we would take say Britains or even France’s. Most importantly, we, as i mentioned, before should not give them control over us. You dont think that Syria and Iran and Cuba should have power over us rite?</p>

14

<p>Oh this isn’t my ideas or views.
I never knew about any of this.</p>

<p>I just found this on the net.</p>

15

<p>Well if the issues were examined from a clolser angle things would be alittle differently framed. </p>

<p>For example: Which is the only G7 country to have voted against the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 1998?</p>

<p>It sounds bad since its the only Great 7 country to not do so. But what if people knew what exactly the ICJ was things would be different. Just beacuse America was the only country to not sign it does not make America bad.</p>

<p>and this: Which was the only other country to join with Israel in opposing a 1987 General Assembly resolution condemning international terrorism</p>

<p>Sounds pretty damning to the US, but what exactly did this resolution state.</p>

<p>No country has ever used nuclear weapons, including the U.S. The bombs we dropped on Japan were not nuclear weapons. Tell that to any educated person and he/she would laugh at you.</p>
