I'm sorry if I was a little harsh, but when I hear Canadians, Europeans and even uneducated/brainwashed Americans talking about things that they obviously know nothing about, it pisses me off. The reason why the UN is against the US attacking Iraq has nothing to do with Peace in the Middle East, and everything to do with morally ambiguous trade agreements.
Essentially, much of the UN has been bought off by a genocidal maniac through lucrative, over compensated trade agreements with Iraq. The UN is worried about MONEY and OIL, not peace and human life. They don't care because its not their lives on the line, ITS OURS. They prefer to make a profit and keep oil prices down, even if its at the cost of Amarican lives. That is disgusting.
I believe the US should leave the UN, which is basically a impotent puppet organization without US support, and has only served to completely F**K things up in the past. After all, what has friggin France done for us lately, besides never letting us fly over their airspace? We defend the free world, and are then treated like uncivilized, militaristic barbarians for doing so.
The UN only has as much power as people perceive it to have, and without the US that perception will be sad. Thats why if the US threatens to leave the UN, the UN will have to back the war on terror.
