Yep, back again.

Not for long though, I will be disappearing again for a time. But I have a couple of things to say, resulting from what I have been doing in my absence, at the NMUN conference in New York, etc.

1) The war in Iraq was illegal under international law, according to a couple of actual senior diplomats who spoke there. Also under the UN Charter, which I have actually read, but it is nice to hear confirmation from real-life experts. Perhaps in our debates, this fact can finally be recognised as fact and not opinion, but that would be too rational, would it not?

2) I was speaking to a senior Shell executive at another function (hehehe, I do get around, don't I?) and he said that the oil the Americans are pumping out of Iraq, at current prices, is finally generating a massive return on their war investment. He said that as long at they can keep control of the country, the revenue will easily exceed the expenditure. And the lives lost, tragic, but energy security is the highest goal of foreign policy. So it looks like the Americans have won, and now all they need to do is keep the boot firmly down.

He also said about long term energy perspectives that "there is no hope". But in the meantime, there is money to be made, a world to run, etc.

What an interesting world it is. This is nothing new really, but hearing it from those guys is most instructive. :)

Obviously the USA has gone to war.

As far as US law goes, legally.

As far as international law goes, illegally.

The moral implications of this discrepancy are debatable, but at the moment I really do not care. What I wish to point out is the fact itself. People of all political persuasions remain free to interpret the words above as they wish, as you have just done. But the facts themselves are indisputable. I just wished to state them again. :)

Actually, even this is debatable...

The American people were lied to by the whole Administration and the President's war rational changes every few months...

Even still, it is not to the UN to slap us on the wrist...

The US has nothing to complain about with regard to the UN and its conduct, since its wrist-slapping largely consisted of them saying "We really wish you wouldn't do that. Oh well. It's too late now." in a tired sort of voice. And that's it. But it is up to the UN to express its opinion on international affairs. That's the reason it exists. The US set it up, the US still runs it and provides it with the largest share of its funding for that very purpose. Occasionally it means accepting criticism, but since it comes in the form of very mild long-winded statements rather than actual action, it is rather touchy and futile to object to it.

No, very much like the UK - cool, cloudy, occasional brief splashes of rain.

14-04-2004, 12:15
Oh well, it's nice here in sunny General Forum.

I agree with the fact that the UN is under a lot of influence by the US, as the US tends to withhold money from ideas it does not like. It is interesting though that so many UN ideas seem to contradict the US.

There are more but one example, correct me if I am wrong, was George Bush senior coming to draws with the UN over an enviromental proposal that would have cost American jobs.

The UN is good in principle to advise, and in certain cases uphold human rights, however it can go too far.
Enerica
14-04-2004, 12:17
Another thought, the UN is there, or so it says in the Charter (One which I am not an expert), to : -

to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

Surely by this, and other ideals of the UN the war was moral. Even though it was not by the letter of the UN it could be argued it was in the spirit of it.

Articles 42 and 51 clearly state the two conditions under which war is acceptable. The former, if the Security Council makes a decision to that effect, the latter, in retaliation if a country attacks another first. The spirit of the UN may be to further the state of humanity in general, but the specifics are considerably more limited. It is impossible to argue the legality of a war based on a stated principle, when confronted with detailed and specific clauses which counter it. It has however been frequently stated in British politics that international law can (and perhaps should) be rewritten through the establishment of sufficent precedent which for practical purposes would invalidate it as it stands. It is logical to conclude that the Iraq war would form one element of such a policy.

Here one is confronted with a dilemma - should nations break international law in order to pursue policies according to their own conscience, and then rewrite it to reflect the new reality?

Personally, I would have liked a lot more thought to have been given to it, given the potential scope for abuse. The doctrine of pre-emptive war for the benefit of humanity appeals not only to the ostensibly benevolent West, but to everyone else too. International law may not exactly be an absolute, but ambient morality certainly is not. I would hate to see the establishment of legal precedent which would enable expansionism to flourish in an atmosphere of moral rather than legal argument.

Welcome back TG.

I am very patriotic, but I always have thought that our Imperialistic war in Iraq was about Oil.

Not terrorism, not any threat, Not even about Bush Jr. following his Fathers footsteps.

Just about oil.

The US Constitution cleary states that Congress (Not the UN) decides when America will go to war... our laws do not recognize foreign superiority and never will...

That's fine, but just remember, when push comes to shove, your US Constitution means sqwat outside of your own borders. It means nothing to the rest of us. Also it might do you some good to know that the US is most certainly signatory members to International law. So that DOES mean you're bound by them.

Actually Saddam had never tried to or has he ever committed "genocide" the UN did try to hold him accountable during the Iran/Iraq war for using WMD, but the United States VETO'd it.

As for the Kurds and the Shia, both those examples he targets innocent civilians, no argument, but he was putting down an uprising, not trying to commit genocide. Just for the record.

Theres a real Myth out there amongts the, oh shall we say unenlightened, Such are yourself that World war two had something to do with preventing the Holocaust. Worldwar Two started because Germany had been expanding thei territory for a while and they finally invaded the wrong country who had freinds to come to its aid.

Then Later America Entered the war. Much Later. England Convinced The U.S that German propaganda was hinting that they wouldnt stop expanding till they took over everything and thus they were a threat the the Continental united states. Entering the war was a very controversial move, It wouldnt have happened without pearl habour. See back then America still was trying to convince themselves they were Isolationists despite the fact they had been meddling in the affairs of other countries for a hundered years prior.

And take your Argument to its logical conclusion and we should ignore all sovereignty and its every man for itself. Anyone can make some Excuse for a war (WMD for example, Or Past Crimes commited)

Oh, there was a genocide going on in Iraq when the coalition of the willing started this crusade against the evil Iraq? Funny, I missed that.

If Pear Harbour was the only reason the US got involved how come Roosvelt agreed with Churchill that Europe was to be the main theatre of war and Japan would be delt with latter. If the war was on oil how come it was Iraq not Kuait and other nations which have far more oil in.?

The holocaust had nothing to do with it. And its not as if there wasnt fighting going on in the Pacific.

And im not quite sure what you mean by your other question But Did you fail to notice that After the Invasion The U.S pulled out of Saudi arabia.
Its because Kuwait and Saudi arabia and the like was no longer a stable place to hang out it.

The words of the so called 'peace campaign'. I rest my case.

The words of some one with no sense of humor, I rest my case. :roll:I am sorry I don't find thratening to kill the President of the United States of America funny. I doubt the CIA or the FBI will either. Comprende?

I wonder if there is any chance of Kerry getting shot. Instead of Bush.

I know put Kerry in a George Bush costume and kill him, all appeased. :lol:

Well at least you apoligised for not having a sense of humour, that's something at least. Now go out and get laid, you are WAY too wound up!

Or they'll probably see it as completely harmless. :?

They're probably planning the same thing.

So the plan is to get Kerry,Bush and Cheney on a plane and "accidently" crash it? :D

Does that mean we should install Max as ruler of US?? 8)

Yep, it's good to be back.

Sorry Luna, I was in New York City the whole time, so New Jersey was a bit out of the way. But it's nice to hear from you again.

(New) Astrolia, I'm afrain the oil stuff I mention in my first posts came from a conversation I have with a Shell manager, so there is no link to which I could link you. But I figure if they stay there for years like they say, that's empirical evidence that it must be making money for someone.

Or they'll resolve her IP to [CENSORED - they don't need my help!] and realize that she's in Canada.

Oh, and welcome back TG! *waves hi*

LOL, they get so many Internet cranks anyway, they are not going to appreciate having their time wasted by some guy on a n00b forum. I am pretty sure the US security apparatus is more advanced than one which relies on tips from random Internet users complaining about others. Pitiful. :roll:

No, LIMUN is far better.

And shame about Congo and Uganda (Alma College and University of Wisconsin, respectively). If anyone from their delegations is reading this, you sad sad competitive bastards: it was not real. :roll:

You'd all be sorry if Bush died, it would be one less person to complain about.

It would be interesting though, if Bush had never become President the people of Iraq may still be living under fear and torture.

Statistic (You may wish to check it)

Iraqi deaths under Saddam 0.08 Iraqis per second
Bush 0.006 per second

hmm

I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
`Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do

I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
