Why not disband the UN and replace it with a gobal version of NATO, a mutual defense alliance of nations committed to world peace?'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"

1) 9/11 was a great day for the maturation of the US.
2) The IRA did a sterling job educating the British govt and it's people.
3) Ditto Chechen seperatists to the Russian govt and people.
4) Ditto Palestinian extremists to the Israeli govt and people.
I think your logic is a bit off here.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

BTW Cuba and Brazil were the only two countries that still had slavery at the time (1863 CE) that we abolished it.If the best thing you can come up with happened a century and a half ago then I feel I win this debate by default.
There is no comparision to the US's human rights record to China's or Libya's or Zimbabwe's.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Let me explain it for you, dummie. Threats of force work well against brutal people. Or do you really think that Qaddafi "matured"? If they don't change the behavior, they will at least kill the brutal people when followed to extension.
Nevermind, you've given me an idea for a new thread. Thanks.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

But there was no threat involved. You bombed him, going beyond the threatening stage.

Read back over these posts and see for yourself who has made the bigger fool of himself.
