9/14 Bush to U.N.: 'Go Bear!' \_ More like "back up your own resolutions or become completely meaningless and irrelevent". Laws without enforcement are worse than no laws. Laws must be consistently backed by force and punishment. Doing otherwise only encourages law breaking. Without a UN to worry about Hussein would have been assassinated or blown up years ago. \_ I am *not* a Bush supporter, and generally disagree with just about everything he has ever said. In spite of that, I think he made a very good case to the UN. one wonders why he didn't start out by making this case to the UN instead of prefacing it by months of counter-productive saber-rattling. \_ Because if he just walked in and begged them to do something up front he would've been laughed at. By saber rattling along the way he made it clear he was dead serious and they better *do* something or we'd do it for them *and* ignore them in the future given their previous do-nothing record. Also, there's this funny idea about how the US is not subject to the 3rd world pit that is the UN. He made a good case but didn't tell them we'd abide by their decision if it their plan was to ignore it and hope it'd go away while they munched sand and dug their sandy pits a little deeper. |
