Unfortunatly many Americans think rocket launchers are ok as long as they are pointed in the other direction. When we think of war we should consider how green the grass must feel on the other side of the fence!

Where the fuck was the UN when this shit was happening? or Pol Pot? or Pinot Ce or in Argentina or Rwanda? What a load of shit...

@71dhb I know where the UN was during Rawandan genocides. France, a member of the UN, was supplying the Hutu Army with rifles, smg's, rpg's and a whole buttload of machetes. Then the UN said "Oh the horror, our hands are tied, why don't we give the order to help these people.....oh wait...it's over." The Tutsi's were the ruling class in Rawanda and they were removed by another ruling class. The same ruling class that founded and controls the UN.

@whwoowee Yes it is the 'Americans' who gave us a century of war. Not those enlightened Europeans.

[ThatzMrOcelot]

@71dhb Yeah, but one needs to understand that the UN needs to be VERY careful about how, or even if they interfere (Don't get me wrong! I agree with you, they don't do nearly enough) but one false move in a crisis could easily lead to a much larger problem.

[Shareheya]

@71dhb Good question. Don't know if it is true but I was told that there is an organization that wants to get the US out of the UN. Where was the UN? Didn't care. No money in it.

If I had a rocket launcher...I'd CENSORED....the CENSORED.....out of CENSORED

[CrawdaddyJoe]

@upadaria Cuba doesn't carry out mass killings of its people, and the killings in Nicaragua were by right-wing contra forces trying to dislodge the Sandinista government- the FSLN overthrew a dictator, formed a democratic interim government, won two elections, only lost the third because of US intimidation ('Vote against the FSLN or we continue the murders'), and still was the most popular single party in that election, and was re-elected later. Educate yourself before you speak.

@whwoowee Oh, shut up, hippie. War is real and fighting and squaller are never going to go away as long as ANYTHING in nature exists, so you may as well not complain. Also, with every war America has been in, we've been fighting to either protect ourselves or an allied nation, or make lives better for the majority of the population in foreign countries. Quit 'cho bitchin'.

@71dhb

The United Nations, much like the League of Nations before it, is a thieves den where the imperial powers go to divide their filthy loot. It is a rubber stamping organization designed to give legitimacy to the military crimes of the imperial west while at the same time denouncing the right of developing countries to defend themselves and actually develop.
