I think it has more to do with it then Iraq
The US has undergone a crash course in world politics over the last month
Also a moral examination of ourselves and the way we do things
This abstain vote coincides with thatWe the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment

If the United States starts to back the Arabs or stops backing the Israelis, I suspect a war coming soon

Because the rest of the world is retarded?Originally posted by Jamski
I mean, I'm not anti-american, but when the rest of the security council condemn Israel, why is it always the US that stands alone? For God's sake, they're killing civillians every day there.
I don't know what my point is, I'm just generally low-grade angry.

Moral examination? That's a good one.

Does anyone have the text of the resolution? I understand that there are several very interesting phrases in there -- which are likely to leave Jamski and certain others...depressed.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

You can still support Israel overall and condemn it for using tanks on demonstratorsSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Bush doesn't have an Israel policy other than bend over and let Sharon do the business.
Anyway, the Americans were busy dropping a hundred bombs on some Iraqis wedding to worry too much about this.
Ming - the Israeli economy would collapse without US support. They couldn't afford the mililtary and would be embargoed within a week.Only feebs vote.Comment

Re: UN Slams Israel's killings of civillians - Only USA not in favour of vote.
I support Israel's actions.Originally posted by Jamski
So only the damn yanks are against this practically unilateral resolution, and even then they had to be placated to stop them using their veto.
Bastards.
