Now, when you take that same principle and consider such nations as Iran and the UK.. I don't see much getting along there. Or Iran and the US, for that matter.
And of course, it's never Iran making those laws. Us powerful nations wouldn't stand for that. The ideals are totally different. But, now you know how they feel, eh?
The bottom line is that every nation should be left alone in most of the respects that the UN tries to put it's nose in. It should be disbanded completely. It's only good uses are as a focal point for world charity, and as a forum for open talk. Fine. We can do those without the rest of the garbage. And we can certainly do charities with private money, not my taxes, thankee very much.
Anti terrorism.... ???
I think that you overestimate the difference between nations in the world. International problems are getting more and larger than the domestic. Every country is today dependent on international trade and exchange. Everyone have everything to win on a global organisation.....
