Anyways..

Do you think the UN with its bureacracy will be able to mount counter-insurgency operations like the US does? Dude, you are seriously misinformed. What media is filling you with these mis-truths. I mean hell, when you said this...

Didnt you read what I posted? Dont you understand? I said unless US agrees to withdraw no country will bring out its name that yes I will send my forces.. Are you that numb? Unless step 1, 2 and 3 are met, noone will take step 4..

Here I will post again..:

Step 3: US ambassador to UN requests UNO and its members for help and ask them to deploy their (UN) peace keeping forces in Iraq.

Step 4: Here your anxious wait ends when UN decides which countries troops should be sent to Iraq, like in case of Somalia UN asked neighboring African countries to send its troop.. and they had to follow it. Countries don't decide they want to send their troops or not, when you sign the UN treaty as its member you pledge certain number of forces to UN.. UN decides in civilized discussion general meetings and its country members follow the ruling.


Unless step 1, 2 and 3 are met, noone will take step 4..

You are separated from reality. If you want to continue arguing your bankrupt views, then the rest of us here will not hesitate shooting you down.


First, Wow.. minutes before you were saying that US is what gives power to UN.. and now you take a U turn and 'US only has as much power as the other Security Council members'?

Second, you think UN a 'global' organization cant make a difference in Irq which is smaller than Africa? Are you that timid? You think that low of UN? No wonder your pride to be an American has make you think that this world is smaller than you. US cant control roads with 150,000 troops because US is shit, they suck, you can never control Iraq qith your fire power or with your numbers.. nuke the shit out of of Iraq and you wont control it even than... money and power is not everything.. got it? Iraqis have said that all they want is to get the US fck out of it land.. that's their mission.. You are separated from reality. Go beyond the numbers and think in more humane way as to why US is facing opposition in Iraq and UN wont..

No, it was on his laptop. I said he was in my sociology class. The guy brought in his laptop and showed me in class.

So, the US withdraws, and the UN takes over? You're assuming the insurgency will just lay their arms down and accept a UN occupation? The Iraqi government sure isn't going to provide security. It's not the UN's job to mount counter-insurgency operations.

I agree with steps 1, somewhat of 2, I wish 3 could even work, and 4 definately won't work.

I believe the US should admit its mistake. Perhaps by a succeeding administration. I don't know if we would go so far as to make the former Bush administration be present at the announcement.

As for steps 3 and 4. It's just asking for a replacement occupation force of the American one. What's the difference? Peacekeeping? There is no peace to keep. Whatever peace is being kept is by the occupation forces, some Sunni tribes, and Kurdish areas to the north. So with the withdrawal of American forces, and the inevitable rise in violence, perhaps even the collapse of the Iraqi government, how are UN peacekeepers going to do a damn thing?

Again, I ask your source that even says these troops that must number at least 100,000 will be sent from other countries other than the US.

Let me clarify. The US along with the Security Council is what gives the UN its power. Just one veto on the Security Council negates UN approval for any action. My mistake on the vagueness of my comment.

[quote]Second, you think UN a 'global' organization cant make a difference in Irq which is smaller than Africa? Are you that timid? You think that low of UN? No wonder your pride to be an American has make you think that this world is smaller than you.[quote]

Iraq is a country of 26 million people from 3 main demographic sects. Two of them are actively fighting each other, in addition to infighting amongst themselves. The government of Iraq is a currupt divided assembly that barely functions. I don't think low of the UN. I think realistically about the situation. Deploying enough UN forces to maintain any semblance of order would take more of a committment than even the US has made. You think the UN is a magic peace making force, and it isn't. Usually, only a few thousands troops are ever sent, not hundreds of thousands that would be needed for Iraq.

[quote] US cant control roads with 150,000 troops because US is shit, they suck, you can never control Iraq qith your fire power or with your numbers.. nuke the shit out of of Iraq and you wont control it even than... money and power is not everything.. got it?


The US is shit, so it can't control the roads? Great intellectual arguement. 150,000 troops can't control all roads all the time. 150,000 troops can't control all cities, towns, and villages all at the same time. The US does the work clearing out insurgents, but the Iraqi forces can't control their own territory afterwards. How are the UN going to do it? You still havn't explained that.

Money and power are not everything, you're right, so how is the UN going to do anything? The UN would need money and authority (power) to even try to make a difference in Iraq. How are they going to stop the insurgency? You think because US forces leave, the insurgency will just stop? Won't happen.

And the US should get out. I'm far from separated from reality. You want the UN to essentially do what the US is doing now. Where's the reality in that?

Source? Everyone knows isn't an argument.

Since when have nuclear facilities been located in the center of urban areas? They have to account for any nuclear accidents. What stupid engineer would build a nuclear facility in the heart of a city.?

first off let me just say i think you are easily one of the most ******* **** ***** *** ****er's on this board. no offence

second, i agree totally with your statement.

...and let further add that Iran "fucks" just about everyone they come in contact with. from Arabs to Russians, the Chinese, Turks, Yanks, Lebanese, many other Moslems and yes, the Joos.

if there were ANY government in the world the last 30 years that was only out for themselves, it would be the Iranian government.

No, I'm saying their not built in downtown areas. Japan is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Iran is different. I'm really speaking specifically about Iran. Even more specifically their enrichment operations, which are deep underground in ultra-secure facilities ringed by AA defenses and radar. Are you going to tell me there are civilians living in the vacinity of these military installations?

Yes.. I think that way.. that the insurgents will lay down their weapons and stop this bloodshed once the US leaves, they will embrace UN cos they have nothing against them.. US has invaded Iraq before and Iraqies see US as their Enemy and not UN... they will welcome UN forces and throw stones at leaving US forces.. thats what will happen..

US is seen like Nazi Germany in Iraq and UN will be seen like the liberators from Nazi Germans and not as the occupiers.. dont forget Iraq too is a member of UN and UN supported Iraq all the time..

Yes once US withdraws, their will be a steep/deep fall in insurgency and bloodshed that we see currently in Iraq.

You will not have Tibet style peace and calm.. but it will hell lot more calm, peaceful and worry free life that Iraqies will get once the US forces leave and hands over the guardian thing to UN.

Why will it happen? Cos history has it.. give me one example where UN failed to maintain peace..

Americans Not in the center of a city but pretty damn close.

3 mile island was very close to the Penn state capital of Harrisburg.
