the record of the US government in supporting revolutions has got to be the worst of any country in existence

our non-support of the Hungarian Revolution
our 'support' of the Bay of Pigs invasion
our 'support' of the Shia revolt in Iraq, and the Kurds
(an accurate listing would run to many pages)

why on earth would any revolutionary trust the US ?
-> why would any sane individual trust any government ?
a pox on the lot of them

you will have to argue for many hours to convince most in the US that the UN is worth any consideration at all
- because when push comes to shove, whose men and equipment are going ?

look at the per capita military spending in Europe
if there is no credible force, what's to project ?
a UN resolution ? or veto ?
sorry but the UN is a political organization, and that is all that it is
Rwanda
Yugoslavia
(insert another long list of horrors ignored here)
did you catch the BBC stories on the ‘rape camps’ in Zimbabwe ?
let’s see, which European head of state was he just shaking hands with ?
bah
