Funny how....

[Really, was that remark necessary? Removed!] </font>[/QUOTE]jwp...don't know what you said but I'm willing to bet it ain't "God bless you brother".

 

"Regulations would imply the UN actually had their own enforcement and well they dont."
Yet.

"The United States of America has it's own constitution and will follow what is best for the American people."
True. Just don't say it's about liberating the Iraqi's then.

"Whatever the reason used for going to war, it matters none now."
Agreed. So if I say it was done over oil it does not matter and there is nothing to argue about.

 

"If you don't enforce your rules, they aren't rules, they are a joke. MAKE the man comply."
So which are they? Rules to be enforced or resolutions that really can't be enforced as the poster above said? I'm confused.

No I wouldn't let him get away with breaking the rules a 13th time. I wouldn't even let him get away with it a 2nd time. But a poster earlier said they weren't even rules. They were resolutions.

Also I'd make my motives clear. I wouldn't say it's a war on terrorism when terrorism is happening all over the world. I wouldn't say it's about liberating the Iraq people when someone just said above that America will do what it has to in its' best interests. All I want is honesty. I can disagree, but I respect honesty. If Bush would be straightforward instead of "flip flopping" I would have respect for him even if I disagree with him.

Just to clue everyone in though...I don't tend to care which party is in power. I support the opposition because I never trust the politicians in power. I was fairly young when I learned that and the philosophy has served me well.

I think Saddam was on the level of Hitler and both are a "test model" of the antichrist. I was not alive to pray for Hitler but I have prayed for Bush and I have prayed for Saddam? Have you guys?

 

Ok Ken, fair enough. Now...why don't people say that then? I hear many people say it's a war on terrorism (implying in general).

 

Canada was in the news today - apparently they are the third country in the world to make homosexual marriages legal. It was on the radio this morning.

 

emeraldcity...I took no quotes out of context. One person specifically said there were no "rules" and one says "there are". Not my fault I caught an inconsistency now is it? As for oil...well we don't have to attack a sovereign nation for it...we have our own.
Somehow you missed my statement here. Read it over again VERY carefully.
"So if I say it was done over oil it does not matter and there is nothing to argue about."

"Canada has politics?"
Superdave has a sense of humour?

"Canada was in the news today - apparently they are the third country in the world to make homosexual marriages legal. It was on the radio this morning."
You mean to tell me you have the audacity to comment on something that happens in Canada because you heard it on the news? Does that then give me the right to comment on something in your country because I heard it on the news? I thought so.

By the way...I don't see your point TS. You have some states that support gay marriage do you not? I wonder what sorts of things your country is leading the world in...

 

King James,

I never told you not to comment on anything that you heard in the news. I told you not to call President Bush - Hitler.

Regarding gay marrige - The Federal courts here ruled that gay marriages performed in those states were invalid.

 

UN resolutions can be enforced.
They just aren't usually.

The long and short of it, King James, is that when Iraq lost the war they started, the terms of the treaty they made required they comply with certain things. They did not comply. Failure to comply with the treaty would invalidate it.

 

And once again, I never did that. Please don't slander me ok?

 

emeraldcity, you are right. I am confused. Seems to me someone said there were no regulations (little things called rules) in place by the UN and someone else mentioned "UN rules". Yep...I'm confused. And yep...that was an inconsistency. Don't worry...I don't think you're a hell bound heretic because we disagree. What dost THOU think?

 

God bless you too.
