OK guys. I'm bailing to let this cool down. When ElFenix can make a statement like, "umm... they were wrong, because they refused to enforce the terms of the cease fire with iraq. the reason they refused to enforce the cease fire is because certain members with veto power were making tons of cash from the status quo (breaking un mandates themselves, mind you)." I've got to cool down.
Failing to enforce U.N. resolutions. El, there are literally hundreds of resolutions they've never enforced. I don't want to start a bash/defend Israel debate here, but there are at least several dozen resolutions against Israel. Second, El -- what do you mean by "refused to enforce the terms of the cease fire?" Do you mean that they were shooting at the planes that we were unilaterally flying into Iraqi territory without U.N. support? Wow, certain members were making money. El, do you really think that money isn't a major consideration in what we're doing. It's not the only consideration and perhaps not even the first consideration, but please note that we invaded Iraq for "humanitarian" reasons while letting millions die in Africa. Apparently atltruism doesn't cut it in Africa.
