None of you get it. They did not burn a British flag, a French flag, an Australian flag, a Canadian flag, etc. They burnt the flag of a corrupt ORGANIZATION that started out as a good idea to solve world problems after WWII. Read some history. The UN needs to be dismantled just like the League of Nation was.

Western countries have, for decades, reaped the rewards of an advanced society built on the slavery and oppression of others and greed of their own. We have taken from a great many countries, minerals, resources and people, which should have made those countries comparatively rich and powerful. In short we have taken advantage of those less fortunate because WE believe ours is the better cause, whilst keeping those countries in a place of less empowerment.

Uh, what's wrong with that? When there are things that can be used by nations that know how to use them, they can take it by whatever means from those who have no need for them or have no idea of how to use them.
For centuries, the West have tried to teach "lesser" people of how to better themselves...
It's not my fault they're incapable of learning.

The UN is not a COUNTRY. If they had burnt the flag of a soverign nation, I would be complaining about their actions also because no soverign nations flag should be treated in that manner.
I say either rebuild the UN or dismantle it, but get the US out of the UN until they clean up their act.

Oh, i don't know forget their ineffectiveness....forget the constant corruption....they employ people that member nations have identified as belonging to a terrorist organization. And the stupid MFs are proud of it. That would most probably be more than enough of a reason

dw,
I notices you didn�t mention them employing terrorists, what�s a matter you asked for a reason and I gave it. Or am I to take your lack of a response as agreement that they should be summarily disbanded and sent home?
As for their ineffectiveness�..yes all of those you mentioned were ineffective�..go dig up some tutsis or hutu, then tell me how effective they are.
As for the corruption, you sure like to assume a lot�.lets see, just on the one that we know about right now�.forgetting for a moment about them hiring terrorists�� that was an awfully big amount of money to dismiss with the stupid argument that two wrongs make a right. Also what government is it that is corrupt that I voted for? ie you don�t know jack about what I did or didn�t do. and last but not least, again you ASSUme I did complain about UN, have since the middle 80s.

yeah i didnt notice you saying they did but i might mention that the terrorist organisations today were made by the CIA. can i say OBL? or what about mentioning the veit cong.
i asked you why they should be disbanded not why they should change the people employed by them.

did i say everything the UN does is good? no i said it does do good things and has done some bad things too. the US government, we all know the only reason the US went into iraq was for OIL.

BTW the terrorists under the UN payroll are actually health support people and if you look it shows that they are looking into it. and if i dont remember there are many terrorist networks that were under the US payroll as well.
i assume about as much as the US military.
oh BTW what i meant was that every goverment is corrupt , you cant say your government is not corrupt.

bottom line - the UN is too currupt. It is an organisation that takes advantage of AMERICA and AMERICAS money by many nations that are AGAINST AMERICA.
Once EVERY country pays the SAME ammount of money and donates the SAME ammount of forces/resources then I won't have a problem with it because it will be EVERYONE getting screwed, not just US.

I�m not even sure what your talking about the link was to hamas �..i�m not sure but I don�t think the US ever funded hamas�.except when paying our UN dues. Although I don�t count that.
[/qoute]
i am talking about how you cant say their corrupt because they pay terrorists because the US has paid terrorists and has trained many today.
the US has never payed hamas just as a point
Originally posted by devilwasp
so we are in agreement�.it�s bad when western countries get involved so we should eliminate the UN and then western countries will not get involved.
.
no, the USA got involved with iraq without the UN. most western countries got involved with african wars with out the UN.
