The UN has Libya in charge of human rights commission, and Iraq at the head of disarmament. If that statement sounds like a joke, that's because it is. The UN has turned out to be a big joke. You're right, the UN is our organization, and therefore if we ignore it, it will go away like it should. Ever heard of the League of Nations? It was doomed to irrelevance by its inaction. We simply tried the diplomacy route to appease nations and it did not work. The UN has too many individual country's interests in mind, including France, the #1 trade partner with Iraq, and don't forget Russia and Germany, the main suppliers of weapons to Iraq. No wonder they vetoed!

You need to understand that the US is in charge of the world, not the UN. The sooner you realize that, the more you'll understand. Our country has to do what's right for the preservation of peace in our time, because the UN simply can't and won't.

What I said about the average american, is that they simply don't have access to classified intelligence information that our government leaders do, except that which is leaked. Believe me, if that's all you've seen, you haven't seen shit, there's a lot more to it than what you mentioned. There's phone calls, meetings, photos of Boeing 707 terrorist training fuselage, as well as the well known public info of terrorist organizations that are harbored and supported by Saddam. Bush would not start this war for the hell of it, that's a ridiculous accusation. He has good reason, and he's doing it for the right reasons. We can't have all the info, but we know they do.

I never said americans were stupid. What I do know is that 75% of Americans support the war, showing that at least 75% have some intelligence. I am very impressed with the american people. After 8 years of brainwashing by the Clinton administration, and by the all the mainstream media, they still managed to snap out of it long enough to elect a real president. Americans were smart enough to elect a good man over a lying sonofabitch. I give them credit.

As for Gephart, he'll do whatever it takes to stay in power, but I do think he's patriotic as well. He doesn't care about blatantly pushing the idiotic liberal agenda, he just cares about getting reelected, which is a step up I'd say.

Lastly, going into china would cause WW3 and you know it, both countries would suffer severe nuclear annihilation. China should have never been let to grow to the power that it is, but it is reasonably a lot more stable than Iraq. All we can do is talk to them about it, which is better than giving them weapons technology like Clinton did. That is, until we complete our missile defense development programs, and have a solid shield in place, programs that the Clinton administration tried desparately to hinder. At that point, we can start making demands.
