I personally think that all menmbers on the United Nations should have a national army

I personally think that what a nation does or does not is up to their government. Not the UN.

Sorry, Hirota, but I disagree. The proposals are made here for a reason and many are ideological in nature.

However, on this issue we are at odds with Ugfftf. We have no standing army (nor private gun ownership...) and do not see why we should. If you believe we are foolish in not having a defence force then fine. However, it's not doing you any harm, is it?

bah, I was not referring to all proposals, just this one.

I do know why you thought that though, having read what I said...My apologies, I was on the phone.
