Any UN resolution to censure Israel is veto-ed by the US.

I swear, I will literally jump for joy the day the UN finally gets the galls to stand up to the US and say "No veto for you!!".

I'll do the same when the US finally gets the galls to stand up to the UN and say "Screw this, we're outta here!"

[Mefustae]

Nah, that'll never happen. I'll conceed that there has been growth of anti-UN sentiments within the US, but I doubt the US will leave while they still have the power to bend the UN to its will and veto unfavourable resolutions. Not to mention the crippling backlash they'd likely recieve for walking out.'

Although, the anarchist in me would love to see what the rest of the world would do in that situation. Would it be the end of the UN, or would the world at large simply reply 'fine, we never liked you anyway'?

I think most of the world would too.  At least it makes the '**** the world' foreign policy explicit and clear.  After all, who needs international peace and co-operation when you have nukes?

Quite so, but you ain't leaving until you pay the cheque...

Just have to send in the repo men, I guess.

Followed closely by Bush appearing on Television all over the world with his finger poised over a button marked 'Nuke the World', shouting "C'mon! I dare you, I double dare you mother****ers!!".

Knowing Bush, he'd probably miss the button.

UN: "What?"
GWB: "Say what again mother****er! I dare you! I double dare you!"
UN: "What?!"
GWB: "What country you from?"
UN: "What?"
GWB: "What ain't no country I ever heard of, they speak English there?"
UN: "Well actually yes old boy..."
GWB: "Oh... erm..."

It has been revealed that the bombs used in the attacks Israel launched on the southern Lebanese village of Qana were produced by the US.

At least 60 civilians, most of whom were children had been killed in the attack.

The British newspaper Guardian reported that the bombs used in the attacks were laser-controlled BSU 37/B bunker busters manufactured by the US.

[Mefustae]

Ooooooh, niiiiiiice.

[aldo_14]

I wonder if they were the same ones as went through Prestwick, sparking protests (and forcing the goverment to stop weapons shipments through civillian airports - at least in Scotland).

[vyper]

I'd like to clarify my opinion somewhat:

To fix this, how about the rest of the world at large simply pretends the Middle-East simply doesn't exist, and there's just a big portion of ocean there. Y'know, we just ignore any communications coming out of there, put up some big walls around it, remove it from all the maps. Only for a decade or so of course, then we can go back to remembering it exists, but only after they sort their own **** out.

I only suggest it because, y'know, am I really the only one tired of hearing about this, that and her uncle happening in the Middle-East? Seriously! It gets old, people!

[IPAndrews]

Build a huge **** off wall around it

[aldo_14]

You'd need to add a roof, too

[Mefustae]

Yeah, we'll contract out the same guys that did the Berlin Wall. They did good work.

And we can buy the stones from Africa, thus reinvigorating their economy! 

This sounds a better and better idea every minute

(we can stick in pipes for getting the oil out, of course.  Or maybe a little doorway they can stick a hose through)
