It needed to be put in bold and repeated. So so true.

If cooperation cannot come from Beijing and Moscow on nuclear proliferation in the world’s foremost terrorist-supporting state, then they have made themselves irrelevant.

AMEN. It needed to be put in bold and repeated. So so true.

We're going broke pretending we still have some influence in Asia. And we have to borrow money from China to it. Irony indeed. That’s not hard to do, dmann.

We’re going broke pretending we still have some influence in Asia.

And we have to borrow money from China to it.

Irony indeed.

While I'm in such a festive mood lets not forget about UNIFL's heroic efforts in southern Lebanon where Hezbollah's fortifications have been turned into solar generating stations and biodiesel production facilities. Isn't it time for Hugo and Ahmedijad to address the General Assembly claiming they have evidence that the United States perpetrated the Holocaust. With OPEC contemplating yet another production cut, Iran doing whatever it bloody well wants, Hugo being Hugo, Israel's lack of will under Ohmerts leadership and the recent saber rattling coming out of Russia maybe it is time to <em>light someone up big-time.</em> Congratulations on another sterling round of sanctions, I’m sure the Iranians will capitulate this time.

I believe they consider Iran their ally.

China and Russia once again triumphed in protecting their trade interests with Iran.

It just seems like no matter how useless and disgustingly weak it gets, people in the U.S are still beholden to it. I still don't understand why we continue to fund this travesty. Then again, I understand very little when it comes to how the government spends our money. Has an organization ever gotten as much undeserved respect as the UN?
