That is a pretty narrow minded point of view. If we want the problems of the Middle East and Central Asia to be solved sonner rather than later than yeah they do need a 3rd party to settle the problems for them. That 3rd party is us because we have the most power and we are the only state in the history of the world that has liberated others and not retained control over them. No other state that has been in a position of significant power has done more for others than America. Yes you can label it selfish and we are only looking out for our interests if you want, but in the end when we look out for our interests we are also creating freedom where it previously did not exist. The best examples are Germany and Japan which needed revolutionary change but in the end the two nations are certainly independent of the US and have their own opinions and beliefs.
Everybody needs parents or they get out of control. It is as simple as that when you boil it down. The Middle east needs us to police or they will destroy themselves. They may hates us now, but they will thanks us later. Just like a child thanks their parents. Based on this, would you also argue that the UN is then "parenting" the US by trying to keep us under control? And that we may hate them now, but we will thank them later?
The UN must be like one of those parents of a child star, you know, the ones that just leech off of their famous kids.
Ahhh yes, nothing like posters from China b****ing about the US & wishing on our defeat & the death of our troops in Iraq, while they ignore their own country's crimes against humanity.

They may hates us now, but they will thanks us later. Just like a child thanks their parents I've seen a lot of these family type posts. The Arabs are seen as little children that need papa Bush (Dubya) or papa America to not spare the rod, so the child is not spoiled. The French,Germans, Russians,Chinese, Mexicans etc. are as the irresponsible rebellious adolescents who need the stern no nonsense approach of papa Bush (Dubya) and papa America. They will gratefully thank us for this later. I suppose the British have the role of the supportive good little woman who stands by her husband Bush and husband America. At the appropriate time, as the Bible requires, papa Bush/America has to say to British mama, I apprecitate your thoughts and support,but you have to submit to me as the leader of the household and a man has to do what a man has to do and it is time to stop this diplomacy foolishness and get down to "bidness."
They might not thank us later. That is the norm. However, it is irrelevant to whether or not invading Iraq is the right action to take. Mainly the French, Germans, Russians, and Chinese, are like kids that keep the crack dealer at the end of the street in business. Sure they don't want him arrested. They neither want him put out of business nor their illicit activities exposed when he's taken down.
LMAO! Huh? So Saddam is peddling what, exactly, that is analagous to crack? I think Iraq is more like some guy in your neighborhood, some guy who needs to be in a group home. He's in a bad way, obviously mentally out of it, and he sometimes carries this stick around with him. Certain old women are afraid that he might, (in between mumbling to himself and scratching his ass and smelling his fingers), hit them or hit a neighborhood dog with his stick. And indeed, he's tried to hit people before, and he's been put in jail a couple of times. I think "crack dealer" gives him WAY too much credit as a powerful player in the world.
Thought y'all would find this insteresting. Kurd PM: French, Russians to lose Iraq oil By Martin Walker UPI Chief International Correspondent From the International Desk Published 3/14/2003 11:03 AM WASHINGTON, March 14 (UPI) -- French and Russian oil and gas contracts signed with the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq "will not be honored," Kurdish Prime Minister Barhim Salih said in Washington Friday, just before a series of high-level meetings with Bush administration officials. "A new Iraqi government should not honor any of these contracts, signed against the interests of the Iraqi people. The new Iraqi government should respect those who stood by us, and not those who stood beside the dictator," Salih added. Russian and French oil corporations have each signed draft contracts with Iraq, to come into force only when the United Nations sanctions are lifted, for exploration, development and exploitation of the country's energy resources -- which geologists believe may be the world's second largest after Saudi Arabia. The value of the draft contracts, if fully taken up, is estimated to have a potential of more than $20 billion. Although there have been dark hints that French and Russian opposition to a second U.N. resolution in the Security Council could have economic consequences, this is the first clear threat from a leading opposition figure from inside Iraq that their oil contracts will not be honored. "France and Russia should make a decision where they stand," Barhim Salih added, speaking to U.S. policy experts and reporters at the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations Friday. "We would rather see them stand with us. They cannot have it both ways." The only democratically elected political leader in Iraq, Salih is prime minister of the Kurdistan regional government in northern Iraq, and is expected to be one of the most powerful political figures in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein. The Kurdish enclave in northern Iraq, protected for a decade by British and U.S. warplanes enforcing the no-fly zone, has become an island of democratic and representative government. While there is no guarantee that Salih will be elected to a high position in whatever new government emerges after Saddam, the Iraqi Kurds as the best-organized and most cohesive group are expected to play a decisive role. Prime Minister Salih went on for talks with senior Bush administration officials on plans for rebuilding post-war Iraq and for creating political stability. His top priority was to persuade the Bush administration from giving the Turkish military any role in the Kurdish region on northern Iraq. "Turkish military involvement will invite other neighbors to intervene, like Syria and Iran. This would open Pandora's box. It would create havoc, and compromise the real mission, which is to install representative government and democracy in a stable Iraq, at peace with its neighbors." He also said that the 70,000 Kurdish troops, mostly with light weapons, at his government's disposal would come under U.S. command in the event of war. And he confirmed intelligence reports that Iraqi troops had affixed explosives to the oil wells near Mosul and Kirkuk. "Saddam wants to instigate an environmental catastrophe. This is his Armageddon," Salih said. "We are in touch with the Iraqi military, telling them to ignore orders to destroy the wells. We think very few of them will fight. Senior officers at border crossing have asked us to let them know when the moment (for attack) comes so they can escape." Prime Minister Salih, 42, with a Ph. D in computer science from a British university, said he did "not expect to see Western-style democracy overnight, but some form of representative government will emerge, based on a federal system with wide measures of autonomy for the various regions."
north korean biggest military supplier are russian. even if we chinese help korean making nuclear weapoons is nth wrong becuz we are help to prevent an invasion of north korea by united state! since now the whole world see what bush is like, he will do anything as long as he want to do it, he will invade iraq for his daddy n oil even with out the un permission, he will listen to nobody, with bush being the leader of the strongest army n the way he is, all his enemy now will try to get nuclear weapoons anyway asap. becuz as north korea show the world , only nuclear weapoons will prevent the big head from invading, force him to go to negoiate!!
