I'm sorry but I not only disagree with what you have posted, but would also like to inform you that you are in very shady area in terms of the facts you provide.
UN Resolutions in terms of Israel: If you honestly feel like you know about this matter, start a new thread. However, make sure you research your facts and don't just post BS lies because I will pick them apart one by one. In terms of the facts you listed, you are wrong about the UN already. To actually read about the UN resolutions, distinguish between the different types of reolutions the UN passes, and to learn why the Arabs even REJECTED the resolutions please read an article by the Economist
http://www.economist.com/world/na/di...ry_id=1378577. The Economist, a British publication, is pretty critical of Israel just so you know. The UN resolutions (Type 7) passed in regards to Iraq are incredibly different from the ones passed in regards to Israel.
You are also incredibly wrong about why America supports Israel, creation of Israel (Zionist History), and the present climate in the region. In fact most of what you said is garbage propaghanda with twisted facts thrown into it. Do you honestly feel that you are ready to discuss this topic if you barely know anything about it?? Do you know anything about Israel's nuclear program that you commented on it? Do you think that America simply allows Israel to have this program?
You make comments about Palestinians killed yet you neglect to mention that 53% of those killed include combatants (suicide murderers) as opposed to 22% from the Israelis, that the number of Israeli women killed is twice as high as Palestinian women, that the number of Israelis over 40 killed is 50% higher than the same Palestinian cohort, that the percentage of children killed among Israelis is higher than among Palestinians even though more Palestinians have died overall.
Now it's funny that you can even compare the War on Iraq to Wag the Dog when even Hillary Clinton said this was not the case. The case has been made pretty well for the War. If you read a previous thread on the Iraq war (
http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showth...highlight=iraq) there is already a great deal discussed. I think that those that oppose the war are generally very ill-informed but I'm waiting to see what you have to say to start "informing" you

Ok, this doesn't have to do with iraq, but UN resolutions.
The UN has passed several resolutions in regards to Palestinians who were forced out of their homes in the West Bank/Gaza/Jerusalem demanding that they return to their homes. The UN has passed resolutions that the Israelis MUST end their occupation of Jerusalem and allow the palestinians to return to their homes. Israelis must withdrawl from territories added through armed conflict - as they have no legal validity.
the US, as a UN security council member is doing nothing to enforce these UN resolutions, instead we are producing and shipping Israel billions of dollars worth of arms and advanced military equipment. not to mention the fact that Israel is the only country in the region we allow to have nuclear weapons - b/c it is convienant and useful for us for us to have these here.
So don't use ignoring UN resolutions as a reason for invading a country - it doesn't fly in my book especially when the US has obviously done the nothing to stop the conflict in the middle east and has yet to help enforce the UN resolutions.
