> The problem is you assume everything the US does is right or good. That's not true. Iraq is the classic case. "Old Europe" opposed us because they knew it was not the proper course but Bush refused to listen because he had a preconceived agenda. Well, except that Bush's actions turned out to be right. The major criticism of Bush throughout his administration was the Iraq War. Yet, the Iraq War turned out to be a very sound, correct decision. Some of us realized it up front, while other less knowledgeable people (you, Al, tejek, RW) continue to argue with the strategy to this day. The fact is the Iraq war was the right thing to have done, and this is now clear. Look....you're fukking crazy. Crazier than a loon. I am sorry to be so blunt but someone has to tell you the truth. However, the UN is a democracy Oh, nonsense. Tell that to the NAM. Tell that to Japan who wants, and can't get, a seat at the table. Tell that to the United States, which lives under a current threat of veto from Russia or China. Tell that to Israel, against which the UN has been totally biased since its outset. The UN is a democracy? I recommend you go do a little research on the UN because you obviously haven't the slightest notion how it works (or doesn't work, more correctly). Ignorant fool. Of course its not the perfect democracy......the US, Russia and China set it up so that they would have more power than the rest of the nations. But its the only world forum we have at the present moment and it would be a huge mistake to give it up.
