Btw, howcome these guys have been shooting down helicopters, but the Palestinians haven't been able to bag any IDF choppers yet? What's the secret?

I have two theories:

1. The Palestinians are idiots. There is much evidence to support this hypothesis.

2. The Palestinians know that as long as they keep blowing up kids in pizza parlors, the Israelis will just run in circles and wring their hands wondering what to do, but if they ever take out a significant number of IDF, the IDF will come calling (with or without orders) and hell's coming with them.

Tunnel vision. Group mind think, all programmed to kill, but nobody in charge to tell them to stop killing. Their god must be dead or noboby listens to him anymore.

Meanwhile, our university professors claim that without Russian approval, the US has no moral authority to attack

To what, exactly, are you referring re: the approval of the Former Soviets?

[Askel5]

Russia (when it was the USSR) never wanted a UN.

Huh?

Where did Alger Hiss get all his bright ideas?

[Destro]

Alger Hiss was used and he wanted to be used. The creation of the UN is a product orignating in the world of the late 19th century Rhodes/H.G. Wells/White man's burden/ internationalists anti sovreignty movement of which Hess was a exponent of. The Soviets knew a fool when they saw one, but he alone did not create the UN nor did he consult the Soviets other than tell him he and his kind planned to organize such a body. The USSR has even walked out of the UN (Korea) because they felt it was a tool of the Western natons. Also remember the USSR wanted the UN to also give each of its Soviet republics votes as well.

Oh, our university professors are holding teach-ins and carrying on about how we'd better not do anything without the approval of the UN Security Council.

The Russians should eliminate all Chechens within a 5-mile radius of their military bases. Any Chechen vermin that crawls within this radius will be shot.

If the Chechens persist in their terrorist behavior, round them all up, every last one of them, and ship them to Novaia Zemlia.

Regardless, time has come for the Russians to institute total war against the Chechen vermin.
