Cynical, aren't you? I haven't even gotten started... <VBG> Actually, though, if the judges are bought and paid for, they have been bought and paid for by Nato countries, not by the Serbians. the court in in the Hague, Netherlands; it is supported primarily by Western dollars. Chris, who are you trying to fool?? ALMOST EVERYTHING THE UN DOES IS PAID FOR BY THE WEST!!!! Any substantial humanitarian operation HAS ALMOST ALWAYS been financed by Western economies. Why do you think the UN is griping so bad about the US not being up to date on their dues payments?? We're a HUGE chunk of their budget and congress seems to feel we haven't been getting our money's worth. And let's not forget that almost every other poor nation has either been raped and pillaged by the Communists or their proxies, or been unwilling to adopt economic policies that are conducive to GDP growth. But when I stated Bought and paid for, I was referring to the fact that non-democratic nations held EXTRAORDINARY VETO POWER over a democratic system. A system that is such an antithesis of their power structure that have every reason to veto a resolution that is counter to their own non-democratic structure. Thus, the jury is rigged. Regards, Ron
