In a new U.N., you might get stuck paying the lion's share of the sustaining costs, and you can also build it in Casablanca, where you can have the pleasure of dealing with obnoxious and arrogant diplomats, cars parking wherever they want, whenever they want, and consulates that refuse to pay their utility bills and drunken diplomats who molest women (and sometimes men) and claim immunity from prosecution because they are diplomats. Of course, it will be the usual circle-jerk nonsense among the so-called non-aligned group, and the Third World countries can squabble amongst themselves day and night. Of course, being a diplomat in Casablanca might not be as attractive a prospect as being a diplomatic in New York, so you'll probably end up the dregs of society in their respective countries masquerading as diplomats. Of course, you can be sure that the U.S. and the European Union, and quite probably some others, will decline to join YOUR United Nations, preferring to form a legitimate one, in which YOU will not play a role. That would be ..... justice.

Right on, when Israel shoots a terrorist, its in retaliation against TERRORISM. Israel has every right to defend her citizens & Israel will continue shooting terrorists. Tough, isnt it!
37. NO, THE WORLD HAS NO SHAME !

At any time, for any reason, it is ready to trample, to massacre thousands in order to achieve it's goal. Via the UN, another den of Pirates, it succeeded in making a mokery of law and order by putting criminals at the head of int'l organisations, security council, Human rights groups and othe dignified "exclusive" positions. To add insult to injury, all of this obnoxious behavior was televised the world over. The US, the UK, the EU can be proud of their accomplishments; finding very unusual ways to accomodate all these thugs, while maintaining an impeccable decorum. The People? Who cares ! ! !
38. Hypocrisy? NO. Expenadbility, YES.

It all comes down to one word: OIL
39. Absurd
Paul ,   Israel   (02.25.11)
The absurd thing is that today Quadaffi commands an army of mercenaries who are fighting the people and the army of native born Libyans. Wonky world.
40. I always thought he was MIchael Jackson's brother

....or some kind of clone. But the good thing for the whole North African continent .....is they are being led around by George Soros and Barack Obama's little coup party taking place right now. Obama did have a party last night for Motown. They wouldn't put the menu up for public viewing though. They had old Georgie dancing to a better world for North Africa's new leadership tune. It was dedicated to Soros. It went something like....We are world.....We are the leaders......we destroy and recreate in our own image.through soft coups....................................................... It will probably be on the music charts next week.

And what are you Arabs willing to do for this 'true peace'? Are you willing to fulfill your obligations that you have already agreed to? I bet not. Are you willing to end your war-crimes? I bet not. Are you willing to honor any agreement? I bet not. To date the Arabs have done exactly nothing that could be remotely considered peace, how is that going to change?

44. Can someone please explain to me the photo here?
Tahl   (02.26.11)
In the photo shown here, the Lybian protesters hold a sign showing Gaddafi as a dog spitting blood, with a star-of-David sign on him. Amazingly - somehow, someway, the Libyans managed to drag Israel and/or the Jews into their own internal turmoil, and found a way to demonize it yet again. With Gaddafi or without Gaddafi, in a state of freedom or totalitarianism, regardless of the circumstances - it seems Israel and the Jews is the constant, eternal evil. So, I'd like to understand something here - are these Libyan citizens the ones the West is so concerned about? Are they the ones that NATO contemplates saving? And if so - why? Clearly they are fanatic antisemites and haters no better than their deranged tyrant. Seems like they got what they deserve if you ask me.
45. They fought for freedom and.....
26.02.11   (02.26.11)
what do the poor people seeking such freedom and a new and respectable way of life, if not their very own demise thru their own governments, then thru their fellow brother arabs. These arabs have been breeding until there is no food and money to feed them, so now, WHAT? They have nothing at the end! When all is said and done, they are nothing short of being poor suckers.

Moragh   (02.26.11)
Not only a nauseating bunch, but I say until they can prove they are a real man, they are ZERO in my eyes. I often wonder what kind of weak wives they must have, but on reconsidering the question, the wives must be the ones with the b....!
47. Where is Ahmadinejad?
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (03.01.11)
Deosn't he want to save his arab brothers? How come he does not attack Libya? He's claiming to be protecting the innocet. Walk up, Arabs. Stop following like goats and start reasoning.
