Re: Let the Security Council decide on the repercussions. Palestinian intransigence should NOT be tolerated any longer. Talking of the UN Security Council... U.S. Is Silent as Syria Joins UN Council The Associated Press Tuesday, October 9, 2001 UNITED NATIONS, New York Syria won a seat on the Security Council on Monday with overwhelming support from the nations of the world, despite being on the U.S. list of countries accused of sponsoring terrorism. The General Assembly elected Syria to the powerful body for a two-year term on the first ballot. It received 160 "yes" votes from the 177 nations voting. Guinea, Cameroon and Bulgaria were also elected on the first ballot. Mexico defeated the Dominican Republic for a Latin American seat. Syria was the unanimous choice of Arab and Asian nations for the Asian seat on the council being vacated by Bangladesh on Jan. 1. Candidates that have unanimous regional support are almost always elected. Last year, the United States led a successful campaign to keep Sudan, also on the U.S. list of terrorism sponsors, off the council. But this year, despite opposition from Israel and a last-minute appeal from 38 members of the U.S. Congress to President George W. Bush to oppose Syria's candidacy, the U.S. administration has remained silent. The U.S. deputy ambassador, James Cunningham, arriving for Monday's election, said: "It's a secret ballot."

Let the Security Council decide on the repercussions Figure the odds... Now that we've stupidly permitted the Syrians onto it... Of course, we have until Dec 31st to enact policy since Syria doesn't begin it term until next year. Hawk

<< ... 98% Palestinian sovereignty in Gaza and the West Bank, with divided Jerusalem ... >> The Palestinians used the West Bank to terrorize Israel, and to murder innocent men, women and children, for many years. Finally Israel took the West Bank, as a result of a total Arab war against them. The Palistinians completely failed to live up to the Oslo Accords, or any other peace accord that they have signed. What would you have them sign next? Perhaps you can get Neville Chamberlain to help you create a peace treaty for Arafat to sign. The creation of a terrorist Palestinian State would certainly lead to another war. I certainly wouldn't want a terrorist Palestinian State next to America. Why would you want one next to Israel?
