The U.N. is conveniently silent about Sept. 11th

[miles]

Interesting isn't it?

Where is the resolution condemning the terrorists, or countries who aid them? Where is the outcry over the murder of at least 6,000 innocent people?

Has three been one public statement from them?

They are a disgrace.

AMERICA-BASHING U.N. SHOULD GET LOST
By ANDREA PEYSER

September 21, 2001 -- IT'S time for the United Nations to get the hell out of town.

And take with it CNN war slut Christiane Amanpour.

Also, short ABC comedian Bill "those bombers were brave" Maher. More on that in a sec.

The U.N. building towers over the East River like a giant middle finger aimed at our shores.

The once-shiny beacon of peace has devolved into a cancer, where all manner of anti-American lunacy is hatched.

Today, the U.N. functions as an international megaphone through which every Third World dictatorship vents its fury at our way of life.

Though technically not on American soil, the United Nations clogs our city like sewage.

It lustily sucks up our police, our water, our sanitation services while its personnel jam city streets by parking illegally, and break all manner of traffic and criminal law with a get-out-of-jail-free card known as diplomatic immunity.

Now, the United Nations is serving yet another function: It has become the quietest place on earth.

Since two planes toppled the World Trade Center in a fiery blast of terror, the United Nations has been mute.

Where are the diplomats we housed and fed, whose transgressions we excused, whose libels we endured, now that the nearby turf is in ruins?

Oh, yes, Secretary General Kofi Annan has been on television in a hard hat, grabbing network face time by glancing, moist-eyed, at the ruins of the Twin Towers.

But where are the resolutions? The outrage? The deep, heartfelt expressions of regret?

Not here. Not now. And certainly not for us.

So, the United Nations doesn't like this nation? Fine. Don't let the door hit you on the butt as you get the hell out.

Go home to your police states and smarmy European capitals.

"The U.N. provides cover almost the same way the Taliban does," observes Harvey Kushner, an author and terrorism expert.

"It serves as the laboratory, the linchpin for legitimizing incendiary rhetoric," Kushner said.

Following the initial shock, America-bashing, I'm distressed to report, is going full throttle.

And not just in the foreign media - though there's plenty of that - but right here, at home, in the guise of "analysis."

Explaining why the Arab world hates us, CNN's Amanpour spewed her bias in a live conversation with news blonde Paula Zahn:

"The issue of the United States' close alliance with Israel, the perception that the United States does not care as much about the suffering of Muslims in Palestine, in what they call Palestine, is a key reason for the anti-Americanism on the rise in the Middle East."

I wonder what her Jewish in-laws think.

Short comedian Bill Maher was even more rabid.

On "Politically Incorrect," Maher declared the United States cowardly for "lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away" at Iraq. In the next breath, he praised the bravery of the trade center bombers.

"Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly," gushed Maher.

He later insisted our government is cowardly, not our soldiers. Thanks.

The truth is the monsters who attacked us hate not just the United States and Israel. They hate wealthy Saudi Arabia. They hate non-fundamentalist Muslims. They treat women like slaves, children like property, and dream of romping with virgins in paradise.

Everyone with a gripe against Israel or America has joined the orgy in the guise of "analysis." Analyze this, you bastards.

Thanks Lavender.

Saved ME from having to write all that.

Just another little thing.

I don't agree with Bill Martyr, or whatever the fuck he calls himself, or ANY talk show host, for that matter.

As for that columnist.......

Just to dispel the myth that the United Nations hasn't done anything.

Example 1:

Annan Urges Vigorous Response against Terrorism
24 September -- Secretary-General Kofi Annan, in a speech to the General Assembly today, noted the need for a vigorous response to terrorism. He also said that the rule of law should be re-affirmed regarding the Sept. 11 attack on the United States, asserting, "No effort should be spared in bringing the perpetrators to justice, in a clear and transparent process that all can understand and accept."

GEE only took him 13 days to say that!!!!!

Example 3:

Annan Visits Site of World Trade Center Attack
18 September -- The Secretary-General today visited the site of the 11 September attack on the World Trade Center, and said upon seeing the area, "It's much worse than I thought." He said that people and Governments around the world had come together in response to the attack.

And it only took him 7 DAYS to get to Ground Zero!!!! Gee what a fucking leader. Whats the matter he couldn't get across town?

Any organization that TRIES to prevent bloodshed is MY kind of organization.

Mainly because, as a Canadian who's going to soon be a "blue hat", I'd prefer it if it weren't MY blood being shed.

Also, because I love the world, and it hurts to see this sort of thing go on.

 

[Pokerman]

Actually Pokerman, there was simply SO fucking much UN discussion of this topic that I started backwards. 13 days was about the 50th fucking statement Anan made. It took our own damn President almost a week to get to ground zero. Why you people hate the UN so much is beyond me. You buy into Rush Limbaugh's shit WAY too much.

Actually as a die-hard Democrat, I can't STAND Rush.....

I think it was wrong for Dubya to take so long to get to NYC, but understand it because he has a war to plan, and all...but Anan couldn't make it a couple of blocks?

And with that, Your Honor, the defene will end their closing arguments.

Shall we call witnesses or just move straight to deliberations?

Re: Re: For you, Miles

And now to shred apart that joke of a fucking article. It's evident that some authority like the NYT wouldn't post this bullshit.

No, it was the NY Post.....

Here's the link if you want to see it online.

Re: Re: For you, Miles

We can't take the truth? Is that it. It's absolutely 100% true. This IS the reason. She wasn't saying that she agreed or disagreed with it. She said "perception." That's the key. Americans don't want to hear the truth. They don't want to know why nations have issues with us. But, they do. Some of it justifiable, some of it not. Just because they have issues with us doesn't justify in any manner the terrorist attack. No one is saying that. No one at all.

i agree with lavenders arguments against miles points (is miles really being serious ?)


i think the UN is a worthwhile organization that has cleaned up its act hugely from the corruption it had ... secretary-general kofi annan is very good and very fair


i also agree fully with what your saying about the arab complaints against american ... maybe not all of them are justifiable (some are) but american HAS to listen to them and resolve these issues it cant no longer ignore them otherwise they will just grow and get worse and create hatred and i dont mean just america has to listen i mean england too and all western countries but the unwaving siding with israel hasnt helped matters i dont think ... now if america isnt even willing to think about that or listen to the arabs worlds views and warnings about this then this all could happen again



oops sorry i misread a bit i thought those were miles direct comments but it was from an article ... well is the person who wrote the article being serious ?

lol i learned that from lisa ... she never accepts that shes lost an arguement ... well i think i can remember twice she let me win ... i am lucky being that im the only person shes admited that she was wrong too



lavender i think it is understandable that america is at fever pitch still ... but there is two ways america can go inward and closed in on itself ... or it can open up to the rest of the world and become true world leaders ... leaders not dictators

 

[dza]

the UN -- lmao

A european military commander in Africa (on the ground mind you, right in the shit) asked for several thousands troops in order to stave off a massive and obviousl potential massacre. the UN did nothing of the sort, but talk.

Do a little resource, this organization has a lot of blood on its hands. and the disinegration of Yugoslavia -- crackerjack job boys and girls. Boy, the UN really saved 100,000s of people from being "cleaned".

Obvious massacres, genocides occur with its full knowledge, you really think they are going to do anything about well-organized clandestine terrorists cells. Yeah, right.


Ps - who is the largest supplier of foreign aid to Aghganistan -- the UN? nope, its the United States of America... go figure.

First - how about you read all the examples and not just comment on the one that supports your point? Hmmm? You realize most people will probably not read through these long posts and know that by just focusing on one thing and making some "sound bite" response that you'll get your point across without actually having to back it up.

Pretty lame, dude. The UN was among the first to publically condemn the attack - as several other examples point out - see Examples 5 and 6.

Secondly - no one was allowed immediate access to visit ground zero - and people were taken there as time, resources and NEED allowed.

Not silent, dear. Not home. I retract my statements - I was wrong. I should have said, "what are they going to do to help the world get rid of these animals."
