gyro- one more thought
Gyro, if someone was raping or attempting to murder your wife or child, would you expect a bystander who has the witherall to do something or better still stop or prevent the above from happening, do you think they would have a civic duty to intervene or do they have to call the authorities first to find out if they should do the moral thing or not?
And if there is more than one authority, should that person wait for a unanimous vote, during which time your family member has been either raped or killed?
The US is in that position.
Why wait for anyone to give the green light?
They are morally correct in doing whatever needs to be done, just as a bystander would be in the event of witnessing a horrible crime going down and had the power and means to end it.
The UN is immoral........just look at it's membership.
And the Chairmanships that are in place.
Syria..............Harbours terrorism. Reward......Chairs the Security Council
Libya...............Harbours terrorism......Reward...Chairmanship of the Humanitarium Commission
And now, Iraq, Terrorist nation.... Reward....Chairmanship of the dis-armament Commission
