Perfect Cartoon of Iran and the UN
- Thread starter RichardE
- Start date
Kind of reminiscent of all of the UN resolutions placed on Iraq from 1991-2003. Why do people even think the UN can accomplish anything other than handing out food to refugees?
UN has done good work, and breaking the lines will have consequences. Besides, there haven't been any lines yet.
The real purpose of the UN is to provide a place for countries to talk. Without that, its hard to imagine how many more world wars we would've had.
(note that "talking" stops wars)

Doesen't matter to them, they are empowered with the concept of turning this country into a rouge state the world cannot stand.
Cooperate? feh thats commie stuff, we are the mightiest nation in the world, noone can beat us and everyone should fear us.
It's about time for the UN to draw some lines for the US actually.

Sorry, but there is no other way of relating this concept to you:
Shut the f-ck up, you troll
Thanks for understanding, goodbye.

Looks like you could use some sanctions too. :lips:
I forgot, if the UN could actually sanction us your precious Israel would have to fight fair. (that would probably be the first thing done) oops thats why your so mad. Well, I am sure the army there is accepting recruits, better go get on it.
I thought this was going to be the first peaceful thread on P&N aside from the ones that have a sticky..

- Look ma, what did I catch?
- It's a red herring son, a very special fish
- Why is it special, ma?
- It's what insignificant, but malicious people use to distract their opponents when they have lost an argument.
- You mean like in this thread, ma?
- Yes son, in this, like in many others.

The cartoon is implying that Iran is working on developing nuclear weapons. *sigh* Have we already forgotten the lies from 2003? Do people have that much of a memory problem that they have forgotten what happens when they jump to conclusions without any evidence? United States of Amnesia it is...
There is a slight difference between 2003 and today, Iran is openly enriching uranium and has refused help on doing this.
You can resume sticking your head in the sand if you like.

not quite.
The situation in Iran is vastly different from that of Iraq 3 years ago. apples and oranges even. Iran is bringing everything that happens on themselves. They deserve whatever happens given their complete disregard for world-wide opinion. so be it then...

yea..if these UN haters could examine US policy with the same critical eye we might get somewhere..they love to hate on the UN and then completely ignore the failures of our government
Is the UN supposed to be some kind of Super-America, invading countries that don't toe the line?
I'd prefer an idealistic UN, that sets the standards for decent behavior, human rights, etc. but that sort of leaves countries to sort out their own messes for the most part.
