Speaking of violating UN Resolutions...

utter hypocrisy.

Sava's most favorite phrase, regardless the issue or the participants.

well, it's so rampant and it pisses me off... I'm dismayed so many people can accept immorality on such a grand scale.

Yes, that country starts with an "I," but it's not Iraq or Iran.

That does not take away the force of Sava's argument, that the US is a hypocrite.

Bush wanted to invade Iraq, and he could find reasons for doing so- they started an illegal chemical/bio weapons program.

That's not it. UNSCR 1441 is not about Iraqis starting a weapons program on BCN weapons.

do you truly want nuclear proliferation?

Saddam was not found to have an active nuclear weapons program for the last 10 years or so.

Ireland isn't that bad.

Actually it does take away the force of it.

True, it doesn't mention the Iraqis specifically.

Saddam was not found to have an active nuclear weapons program for the last 10 years or so.

Well, if you posted more than one liners, I'd try to take them out of context too. So I'll just fall back on, "That's completely false. "

The UN Subcommission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities

The hell?

[DinoDoc]

I think they have a commission on just about everything.

[Sava]

Monk: yeah that confused me as well... I guess the UN Subcommission for use of Radioactive Munitions must handle issues involving discrimination and civil rights.

Depleted Uranium is a minority. They just aren't recognized as individuals with the right to vote yet.

There is no not a single modern military that does not use DU in either shells or armor. They might as well ban water as it would make as much sence, be ignored just as universally, be just as impossible, and degrade the worlds faith in the UN by the same degree.

I am sure if we went back through every subcomission in UN history we would all be living in mud huts as everything would have been banned.

The UN has hundreds of these "commissions" were they stash people that make up this crap. Part of the reason the US disregards them so much is becasue they have all these baffoons glossing over whatever good the UN might be able to achieve without them.

Only article 7 (is that the correct number, or do I have them flipped in my memory?) resolution of the security council has something like the status of law, the rest a just advice. Note than even in the security council, about half the rsolution are not article 7 and are thus just advice (IIRC all or almost all the many resolution supposedly violate by Israel are in that category, the proposed article 7 one petatining to them well vetoed)
