SLY dude i dont know where have you been during the last 3 years, but i got some news for you: UN doesnt like israel. as a matter of fact, un is a pro arabic organisation which denies/denied the right of the jews to have our own country.
2 years ago or so, 3 israeli soilders were kidnapped and killed in lebanon. un soilders who saw the whole thing from their bases in south lebanon didnt tell about itto the idf and denied the whole case for few months.
later , when koffi anan admited un people knew about kidnapping, he refused to show the video his people had filmed to the families of those soilders.
Why do you expect us to like un here after such cases?
Besides, if saddam does posses those weapons where is his respect to the all mighty un?
he doesnt want his ass to get kicked so he acts as if he were cooperating, but thats all bull**** man..
Dude , with all my respect to you , your believes & your country.
More than 5 decades ago , the UN made the resolution considering the division of the Palestinian land between Palestinians & the Jews to establish their Jewish state ( most jews living in Israel now came after the UN resolution)... I'm sure you know this history better than I do.
So this actualy make the UN more of a Pro Israel organization , since they helped establishing Israel in the first place ... How can you accuse the UN of denying you now ??!!
But it's normal that the UN demand their previous resolutions to be applied , and that doesn't make them against someone in particular ... Not to mention that the U.S. has used the VITO against many resolutions that could accuse Israel , although all other countries in the Security Council approved most of these "to go" resolutions .
On the Other hand , Israel denies the right of Palestinians (the original land owners) to have their free state on the division the UN resolution left for them , denies lots of UN resolution considering this issue , and worst of all denies the right of Palestinian refugees to come back to their original homeland ... Don't you see how racist and cruel this is ?!
I wonder why did the well educated & civilized Israeli people vote for such an cruel & evil government again ...
A matter of fact : The current palestinian revolution (intifada) started out against Sharone (in personal) , when he visited the "Masjed Al Aqsa" (an old islamic holy place for worshiping) and threw all the palestinians inside out and didn't allow any of them to come in till he finish his visit ... As you can see , this was very humiliating for them and their religion (from their point of view) , so they started their revolution ... And as he tries to put it out by military force , they go wilder.
I hope that someone who is more peaceful than Sharone come soon , so that we can see some peace in this place on earth .
About the killing of the 3 Israeli soldiers in Lebanon , I remember that Israel was still occupying the south of Lebanon at that time and it's very normal to face such actions of resistance against your country's occupation ...
I don't recall the exact details to argue about the UN role in this , but if you can remember few more years behind (I believe it was '96) , Israel blow away a UN refugee camp in Qana village in Lebanon ... Lots of civilians were killed (few hundreds or so) ,and the Israeli government said they were sorry cuz they had some wrong maps !!
What wrong maps ? I realy doubt if they didn't have full detailed maps for the UN sites in Lebanon , so they must have blown this camp on purpose.
And as usual , the UN didn't take any reaction for what happened.
At least , Saddam shows that he respect the UN by accepting ALL of the resolutions AND accepting full inspections everywhere on their lands.
On the other hand , Sharone declares in public that he is not going to accept any UN resolution that he doesn't like ... What a nice guy ?!
Finally , I was wondering why does Israeli government encourages such a war ... Who do you think will be on blown away by Saddam's WMDs (if he has any) in case the U.S. declares total war ??
From sutdying this man's psychology , it's easy to tell that he'll be trying to revenge upon nations that helped or encouraged the U.S. ... So his suggested top target list would be : Kuwait , Israel , other Gulf States (for using their military bases) .
So whether the Israeli government is dead sure that Saddam has got no WMDs , or they're pretty stupid (I realy doubt that they're stupid) .
