    Surge,

    McCaine has not economic judgment. In the Republican primaries Ron Paul made the man to look like an economic idiot. America, she's heading for economic hard times. The dollar is crashing - big time. The baby boomers have almost reached retirement; that coupled with the intitlement programs of social security and medicare - America in that alone faces a National debt of over 75 trillion dollars. It takes approximately a trillion dollars to make a stack of 1 dollar bills reach the moon!

    And to this, McCaine's a hawk in terms of his vision of deploying US troops abroad. Paul's criticism of this vision, he said America faced finiacial bankrupcy; that the policemen of the world, the American empire, had to close its military bases abroad because the home populations could no longer afford to finance these foreign adventures.
    The Cold War's over the USSR has fallen, its time to return to the American tradition of bringing the boys home.

    Surge, how can you have any praise for an immoral man! McCaine cheated on his wife, who says he want cheat the American people?! McCaine does not regret his error concerning his wife, the man has no shame. Do you honestly think such an emotionally disturb, or at least an emotionally undevelop old man to run the United States at a time of an approaching economic crisis that approaches the Great Depression?

    SezWho? Howdy, interesting response. I am now better understanding your perspective. To which i respectfully disagree.

    I emphasized the grossly disporportionate # of UN resolutions regarding Israel, to emphasize the diplomatic success of the Arab "governments" in this international diplomatic forum ie UN. Diplomacy does not qualify as "government", even if it 3c: "restains"; 3b: exerts a determining or even guiding influence or 3a: strongly influences the actions and conduct of etc. Even condemnations from the SC/security council/ do not qualify as "governanc". Unless "noise" has enforcement capabilities in fact, threats, they only release a lot of hot air. Unless noise involve more that empty threats of economic or military actions, condemnations accomplish squat, when the condemned "government" does not fear some type of foreign police enforcement. Governments require teeth. Student governments, fall under the heading of governments, but the Administration of the School does as it pleases. Student governments compare to monopoly money, the latter's called money! Definition 1b: qualifies as a definition of anarchy. The State governments that you mentioned can impose and collect taxes, they can enforce law passed by legally recognized legislative bodies. International law has always been and remains the law of the seas. Oceans do not have governments. International law attempts to regulate the "seas". Historically International law the great powers detemine due to their ability to project military power. The UN's ability to project military power to date has not seen or known very many successes. Traditionally when bullets fly, the UN runs and hides.

    WORLD GOVERNMENT IS A GOOD IDEA ... PERHAPS AS TOILET PAPER.

    Why would anyone oppose President Bush's statements concerning Cuba?

    In 2004 the debacle in Florida comes to mind. Free elections with rigged machines. The candidate Bush praised a humble foreign policy. The President Bush has engaged American troops without a Constitutional Declaration of War or even a UN mandate! This same President has negated the Bill of Rights which predicates the Constitutional mandate of a 3 branch government!

    When Arabs slaughter Arabs, silence. Where's the international outcry? Where's the label Shoah?! Opps I forgot, Israel's not involved. The Corporate International Press seeks to sale copy. And no body buy copy about Arabs slaughtering each other. Prove being: where's Grouchy, if the copy concerns Israel, he'll throw his barbs of hatred and disgust. But when its Arabs shedding Arab blood, this passionate fool has nothing to say.

    The original 100 years flap, occured because of the Ron Paul opposition within the Republican Party. Paul sought to persuade his party of the value of pulling American troops stationed abroad and closing expensive American bases overseas. He made the devestating comment that America suffered from economic insolvency, that it could not afford this far flung empire of having over 170 military bases oversea. McCain justified the Iraqi engagement by comparing it to the on going American involvement with Korea. Paul then brought up, the point that America sent troops to Korea by a UN mandate rather than a Congressional Declaration of War. Iraq, being an American war, which lacks both Congressional and UN declarations permitting the engagement! Paul says the American government must obey the basic Law of the Land ie the Constitution. Both the Republican and Democratic Parties view the Constitution as being no longer applicable in the "modern" world.

    SezWho2 your comment concerning a scale of rights, merits consideration.

    This whole "rights" business began with the American and French Revolutions. The Bill of Rights best summerizes, this "notion" that all citizens of a State have rights. Prior to these revolutions, only the land owning aristocrats and the crown enjoyed "rights". Feudalism in europe died a slow painful death. Time passes and kings become ancient history and democracies rule the lands! Churchill called democracy the worst form of government, but that nother better existed to replace it.

    Governments, past present and future, require a "moral mandate" permitting or even justifying their rule over populations. The "rights" issue, like some cheap drug, many have abused and OD'ed upon. Rights come in ratio with obligations. An illegal immegrant that pays no taxes, does not merit free health care and public schools. A woman who has paid her taxes all her life, however can demand her privacy, especially if she's married to a man whom the American people trust to run and manage their country.

    Spain loves to make grand claims. Their catholic barbarians "claimed" all of the Americas! The ship sank in international waters, thus making it fair game for any and all. Spain lost its empire, because they lazily sat on their collective behinds while industrious people produced wealth. Alas the religion of the shiftless remains: why work when its easier to steal.

    grsmaz your anger directed against Israel shows as much as your ignorance of State policy. Washington runs on special interests like business men drink coffee. The Executive Branch has its State Department of full time bureaucrats and think tanks plus the Secretary of State. Both, often at odds, have their own agenda - independent of special interest groups in general and AIPAC in particular. The US believe it or not has its OWN interests. The US government does not wait for their AIPAC intructions. Israel is a tiny, poorly governed state whose population is less than New York City! The US invests billions of aid to Israel because it invests billions to the surrounding Arab states. The game is called: "maintaining the balance of power". The British, when they had their empire, played the same game. And the Americans borrowed it from the British playbook. Maintaining the status quo of American domination of the states of this region, while also - please stop being so simple - maintaining the conflict among competiting States. (The Arms business qualifies besides the dollar as a great American export!). Your tacky boo hoo, its really pathetic - GO WASH YOUR FACE.

    SezWho2 very though provoking - thank you.

    Since 1967 the UN has passed over 130 resolutions touching the Arab/Israeli dispute. 88 of those resolutions have condemned Israel.
    1. to exercise continuous sovereign authority ... clearly does not apply to the UN because its not a country. 3. to control, direct, or strongly influence the actions and conduct of etc. If countries use the UN as a forum whereby represenatives of foreign governments can carry out diplomatic operations, even if the collected assembly votes upon a particular couse of action, the ministers who vote serve and follow the instructions established by their respective home governments. So by how I understand the UN Charter, it does not qualify as a governing body. The other minor definitions I do not see an obvious application.

    The EU springs from the post world war 2 Common Market of 10 european states. Its last attempt to achieve a EU constitution failed. None the less the euro currency all the EU states have agreed to accept. The UN does not coin its own currency. Your above mentioned definition of a governing body failed to mention coinage of currency, thus revealing an open flaw in relying upon such general definitions. Ban qualifies as an international bureaucrat, obviously quite at home in Brussels! Classic great power politics seeks to maintain the balance of power - so that the great powers can maintain their domination of the status quo. This premise explains the American Russian and EU interests in butting into the domestic concerns of weak poorly governed middle eastern states. This premise does NOT however explain why a bureaucratic administrator like Ban Ki Moon should take a personal interest in adjoining the UN to the other 2 great powers and the EU wanna be great power. Can you tell me the last war France won without help? Germany ripped the world apart with 2 World Wars, do you really want to entrust them with world domination? Either Ban's a smoke and mirrors deception, which the great power employ to screen their manipulations or maybe the puppet has decided it wants to pull the strings. Either way I am very suspicious and am entirely disappointed with the lack of coverage by the International Corporate media.

    SezWho2 once more your comments merit close consideration. Please explain to me the role and function of Ban Ki Moon and his relationship with the Security Council? If the Security Council "determines" policies of State, why does the UN need to be apart of the "quartet"? I suggest that you consider the possibility that Ban Ki Moon has his own agenda, his own strategic and tactical policies and objectives that operate independent from the Security Council. For Ban Ki Moon to Administer as head of the UN, he must have the backing of the General Assembly.

    As far as the UN's support of Palestinian position ... Sir this case functions only as a specific in a much larger General catagory! If the UN can meddle - unasked or invited - in the domestic concerns of Nations, well there's a lot more nations on the planet than limiting the affair to a country the size of Rhode Island. Israel serves as a test case. Its a weak, tiny nation ... if the UN can usurp authority to determine the policies of State taken by that government, then the turn for other countries shall follow shortly thereafter. Its a very chilling thought!

    SezWho2 the UN has to have a mandate. Have you ever read their Charter. If you simply compare the UN charter with the League of Nations charter you can not ignore the similarities. The two are like twin brothers! The Security Council in the UN definitely calls the shots. But the General Assembly can not be simply ignored as you imply. The Cubans and the Arab States have employed their influence over the General Assmebly achieving tremendous diplomatic results. For example, it's a key foreign policy objective of all the Arab states to internationally isolate Israel. The Arab embargo of Israel had limited results. But the Arab blocks influence upon the General Assembly has produced "Zionism is Racism", and compared the Jewish State to South African aparthied! By any standard, the Arab states through their influence in the General Assembly have achieved tremendous diplomatic victories. These victories do not undo the military victories that the IDF has accomplished - not by a long shot! But to discount the rise of an obscure PLO in 1967 to the Abbas incompetance of today where none the less all the nations of the world are begging Israel to grant them a State ... that impressive! So who's the rubber stamp? The General Assembly or the Security Council?

    The heart and soul of the Un centers around diplomacy among nations. Korea did not succeed. The Americans are economically bankrupt. Their great society resembles a huge balloon floating in a cactus field. The baby boomers approach retirement, the intitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare shall produce a National debt alone of some 75 trillion dollars. The debt ratio of the US government is already out of control. REMEMBER THE FALL OF THE USSR? The world she's a turning and the US it's heading for a humpty dumpty fall! When that happens, what's going to become of the Security Council? The dominos have started to fall and I for one do not like the way they are falling and their consequences.

    Mister Obama has spoken of agreeing to UN imposed taxes upon the citizens of the United States? When the UN can impose and collect international taxes, that's not a weak Government! That effectively changes the role of Washington to a State Government and the UN usurps the role of Federal Government! If the US Constitution the UN can scrap, who shall say that Japan or any other country shall not soon have an "obligation" to pay taxes to maintain an International Government imposed upon the people of the world without their mandate or consent.

    An agreement to what, that's the question! Hamas has yet to recognize the validity of the Jewish state, openly declares the right to all of "Palestine". Now what elected official representing the Jewish People could agree with that? Abbas, leader of the Palestinian of the "West Bank"? His own people hate his guts. This gent signs his name to a piece of paper, what do the Israelis recieve? swat! The child of the PLO has yet to prove they can run a country. What's the rush? Why do you suppose the United States Russia the EU and United Numbskulls are in such a rush to make a "Palestinian State"? The first question any half descent reporter ought to ask: WHAT'S THE AGENDA OF THE GREAT POWERS? HOW TO THESE COUNTRIES AND NON COUNTRY BENEFIT FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PALESTINIAN STATE?

    sezwho2 you make fine points. But the waters of the UN mandate have no clarity. The UN has its roots from the League of Nations. That's an undisputable fact. President Wilson's 13 points following the first world war, both England and France ignored except for the establishment of the League of Nations. This also qualifies as a historical fact. Senator Long fought Wilson in Congress and prevailed: America refused to join the League of Nations. Wilson's arrogance lacked Constitutional authority. This President had already abandoned the political direction set forth and established by the Declaration of American Independence from Europe; he had not only establish a Central Bank, called the Federal Reserve, but had joined America unto a European alliance! Senator Long declared: enough is enough, and Wilson suffered a stroke and good riddance! FDR died during the 2nd World War, and Vice President Truman succeeded in bullying Congress to agree to America joining the UN by fomenting a Red scare. This fact no one can dispute. President Truman then abandaned the Constitution of the United States and ordered American troops to fight in Korea without a Congressional declaration of war. That's a fact.

    What's not a fact but pure speculation, at least it so seems to me, your statement that the UN has assumed the duties of a world governing organization.

    Britian required a Mandate from the League of Nations because the British and the French had a diplomatic dispute concerning how to divide their spoils of the defunct Ottoman Empire. The League awarded Syria to the French and Palestine unto the British. This division of spoils unto the victors serves as a solid proof that the foundation of an International Body, originally called the League of Nations served as a international forum for nations to conduct diplomacy. The apple does not fall far from the tree. The United Nations comes from the stock of the League of Nations. If it has assumed responsibilities of world governance the word "assumed" needs be replaced with "USURPED"!

    SexWho2 thank you i very much enjoyed learning your perspective.

    Still, it seems to me that a few questions remain. As I understand the history of the current ME dispute, the League of Nations in 1919 voted to give the British a mandate to establish a Jewish State. This original mandate defined "Palestine" as including all of present day Israel, disputed territories and Jordan. The British lopped off Jordan to establish an Arab state. All this occured prior to Germany withdrawing membership to the League of Nations and its demise leading up to the 2nd World War.

    Post War United Nations resurrected the dead League of Nations. The vote in 1948 where a 2/3 majority voted in favor of a Jewish state did NOT establish the Jewish State. Rather that vote recognized the validity of the establishment of a Jewish State. I think the point, while subtle has significance. Israel had still to fight and win a bloody War of Independence. Of all Israeli/Arab wars that 1st war has to this day the highest percentage of war dead and casualties. When Israel won that war, Israel earned its Independence and the UN had nothing to do with Israeli success at defeating 5 Arab armies.

    The Post War Security Council excluded both Germany and Japan and recently included China as have veto powers. Presidents Truman and Johnson abandoned the Constitution of the United States and allowed a foreign government to determine or declare war. According to the Constitution, the Congress of the United States must declare war. Both Truman and Johnson were exceedingly unpopular Presidents. Do you what foreign governments to determine Japanese policies of State? Do you agree that China has greater prestige than Japan?

    The father of the current Syrian dictator murdered 10s of thousands of his own people, a different Muslim sect for sure, but still those Muslims were citizens - supposedly. Do brutal dictators who hold power at the point of a gun have any credibility?

    The Palestinians, these folks talk like they have equality rather than the begger they in fact are. Their society exists because of passing the hat. I honestly do not think they are capable of running their own country. Let's see, Arofat dies and their people go into a civil war. Israel unilaterally gives them Gaza and these folk return the favor by shooting some 2000 missiles at civilian populations. How can any one say that Arabs who style themselves as Palestinians, prior to 1948 Jews living under the British Mandate the world called Palestinians!

    Let's clarify the reality hear. The Arabs living in the conquored territories are economically bankrupt. They have no money. Who then is supplying thees finanially broke malcontents with missiles? Folks there's a larger agenda here that the Press has failed miserably to investigate.

    The Palestinians and the United Nations said the move was largely insignificant ... When did the UN switch from being a forum for Nations to conduct diplomacy among States to becoming a World governing body? It amazes me that people are not alarmed by this usurpation of Nation State Independence unto submission before the new world order. If the UN can dictate and make decrees as if its an independent government then we the citizens of the nation states lose our franchise of rights. Wake up sheeple SURPRISE!

    Ban says "natural growth unacceptable". Will someone please inform me, when did the UN become an independent nation like the other 3 nations in the quartet? Also when do "middle men" in negotiations make demands on disputed properties? The last time an independent country existed in these currently disputed territories, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it was the kingdom of Israel whose capital was Samaria. Furthermore the League of Nations charter designated all these lands as designated by the future Jewish State.
