I have a question: was this article posted here only to be bashed? what about a serious discussion about the united nations and its power? it seems that there is only one type of legitimate in the minds of all who have posted here: American power. What about the rights of others? Do you not know about the horrors inflicted by Americans on other people and nations??? Do you know how many people have been killed or made to suffer because of an American poltical agaenda? It is important to recognize the humanity of all people, and realize that in order for life to be safe and free for any of us, it must be safe and free for all of us. It is suicide to be isolationist, imperialist, and basically selfish, because security, peace, and life can never come from such behaviour. Please, I ask you to look inside yourselves and ask whether or not you feel pain when someone you love dies- and then, for a moment, realize that every other human being on the planet loves someone too, and does not wish their death. I am certain someone will reply about suicide bombers, but I dare whoever tries that argument to contemplate what could possibly drive someone so mad as to want to die and take others with them- perhaps we must look to ourselves as the perpetrators of this evil, by denying them their right to freedoms that we take for granted. I really am not sure what to say, except that I am horrified that a group of people from a nation that has experienced such great and terrible loss as on 9/11 have not gained a scrap of humanity from the devastating experience. i have long believed that everything happens for a reason, and i had hoped that we would as a nation and as a planet, would unite against violence, instead of continuing to perpetrate it and hatred around the world.
