Defending the principles of the UN???

You're joking...please tell me you're joking.

12 years. Remember that. 12 years.

This entire episode is a lesson in how irrelevent the UN has become. 12 years. Dozens of declarations, mandates, resolutions. All ignored. And now a very large part of the organization would like that to stop...and they are met with resistance at every turn by those with financial interest in the status quo.

It is NOT about those nations defending the principles of the UN...because they would all be on our side if that were the case.

Its about how much money France, Germany, Russia etc...stand to LOSE if Hussein is toppled...because these contries have been so busy violating UN resolution, mandate, declaration in actively negotiating and trading with Iraq.

You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson}

One of them was this cute little yellowtail, and she's giving me the eye. So I figured, this is my chance for a little fun. You know, piece o' Pisces.
