Seeing as how the assorted Palestinian terrorist groups have disguised themselves as Israeli soldiers and Orthodox Jews in the past, I hardly think it's unlikely that they'd disguise themselves as UN workers.

There's a great deal of investigations being done by the US into the UN's obscene amount of corruption. We've already had some very interesting developments in the oil for food scandal, I doubt the corruption stops there. It's time to either take back the UN or disband it and get it off American soil.

[Mr. President]

I've always thought the U.N. should move to one of those extreme left countries in Europe. But then I remember that even though they're the ones screaming about America's treatment of Mexicans, they're also the ones sending out their submarines to sink illegal immigrant ships. So they're hardly going to like the hundreds of blacks, Arabs, and Chinese that would have to come along as retinues.

Well there you have it, Israelis attack a school and then try and call the paramedics Hamas terrorists for trying to take their stretchers to help dying children.

the most liberal, anti-Israel interpretation is always correct.

Yeah, I'm sure the US is sooooooOOOOOOOOOOO much better...

That's right! And then we take their children, boil them alive and feed them to our dogs for breakfast.

Actually, I never believe the most anti-Israel interpretation.
I also don't believe all Palestinians are terrorists.
Go figure...

or you're in the middle of a war, or a civil insurrection.

Ummm...

Israeli officials are now saying that the object seen being loaded into a UN ambulance "might be a stretcher"...

Actually, I'm beginning to understand the Israelis' frustration with Peter Hansen.

This is very serious business, and so yes, it should be taken seriously! At the very least, the UN should conduct a proper investigation before suggesting anything about the nature of these claims.

Basically, Hansen seems to be just waving the whole thing off saying, "Oh, the Israelis are probably just spouting unfounded allegations again."

In my opinion, that's not a responsible reaction, and so I'm inclined not to trust Peter Hansen from now on.

-And I'm not even Israeli!

cry wolf enough and nobody will take you seriouesly anymore at first. and that's a dangerous situation to be in n'est-ce pas ?

[Guardian]

Yeah, I know the drill...

"Oh, poor us. The whole world is against us."
*sniff*
*sob*
"We're all alone."
*sniff*
*cry*
"Why do people hate us? We haven't done anything wrong."
*sniff*
"Even the UN doesn't like us."
*sob*
etc...

"Hey, whoops, did we blow up a bunch of kids again?? Ah... sorry about that..."
*sniff*
"Poor us..."

I dont want the UN to be some kind of world government and I don't believe that a state HAS to have UN backing in ALL cases to go to war but people who run down the UN have a despicable contempt for any hope that states can come together to find common ground. The number of people who hate the UN in a particular country is directly proportional to that country's ability to make it's way in the world without to UN - thats important to remember when trying (or not) to keep our arrogance in check

Dude I'm a kiwi, NZ couldn't go without the UN, well it could, any country could. I think the UN is fundamentally flawed. It's a liberal idea run by realists. And a world government is a good thing. It would bring some semblence of order and peace too out of the mess that is the current state system. Realism is dying.
