It's funny that Liberals are always singing the praise of the UN, but it's conservatives that enforce these resolutions. both in Iraq and in Lebanon. How about asking how come so many of these terror sponsored countries don't comply with the UN's demands. What good is this body if no one takes it serious? You had me listening until this point. The anti-Semite card, and my father was raised Orthodox, just doesn't fly here. It's offensive and plays to stereotypes I don't think you'd like to visit. Was Clinton a conservative by your definition? Did he not help build sane consensus to carry out UN backed actions? Arabs and Jews love "the land" just as equally. Claiming otherwise is the realm of people who really THINK God gave land to them personally. The realm of lunacy. Israel picks and chooses it's UN resolutions to follow (weapons of mass distruction anyone?), as does the US. The issue has been SO played and SO spun, you're only doing more of both. Israel cannot bomb and war its way to security, they are too overwhelmed population-wise to consider it -- unless they'd like to kill tens of millions. The post-Holocaust existence of Israel, on the other had, is a reality that will not go away for those who'd like it to. Still, Arab peoples were not "freed" by WWII like so much others. The consolidation of oil power and dictatorship ensured lack of freedom.
