You see, right there is where your scenario falls apart, right at the beginning.

How about "The U.S. foregoes it's incessant vetoes of U.N. resolutions, thereby giving the U.N. the ability to act. Israel is forced to deal with its Palestinian neighbours in a humanitarian manner, thereby defusing much of the hatred in the M.E."

The U.S. government is always complaining that the U.N. is toothless, yet when it tries to act the very same government vetoes its actions.

I can see no valid reason why any single permanent member of the security council should be able to veto the decisions of the others. Even if all the permanent members voted together, they barely represent a third of the world's population. The reason the permanent members won't permit it is because the security council may just start making resolutions against its permanent members, i.e. the very same reasons why the U.S. won't acknowledge the I.C.C.

As long as self-interest is allowed to take priority over the needs of humanity these problems will continue to exist.

Now J2,

You know that when the US breaks someone elses toys, they also make that someone else pay for replacing said toys, with US parts and labour.. with a few Billions in the pockets of the ones that the US puts in charge of overseeing said replacement... :lol:

Fortunately the US supplies the money as well, so everyone is happy.

nice quotes JP.

i'm sure they're saying the same things.

Walking (staggering really) home Friday night we noticed a cop car parked up and two policemen were watching the train station I live next to. I live in the south west so quite a ways from Thursdays tragic events, I wonder if the police are doing this all over the country right now?
