Fred Thompson and the UN
Posted by David Hardy · 2 November 2007 08:02 PM
I'm out of town again, so blogging will be light for a few days, but Fred Thompson's criticism of UN disarmament measures has drawn some criticism from those who say there's nothing out there, and SayUncle weighs in with a devasting counterattack.

30, i don't think you read the whole thing. or i'm misreading you. seems we agree but you think i'm full of it for some reason.
There are an awful lot of musts there. Is the UN a voluntary union of client states? Or does a country that wants out get to be attacked by all the rest?
Read the comments. SayUncle is full of **it on this.
For example:
[quote]It is worse than what you responded with when referencing the part about Article 51…
Report, bottom of page 2:
Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations applies to States acting in self-defence against armed attacks against their State sovereignty. [b]It does not apply to situations of self-defence for individual persons.[/b]
Goldberg said that the Article 51 proves Thompson wrong when in fact what the report is trying to do is prove what Goldberg said about Article 51 is wrong. Which is that Article 51 is a (sovereign) state’s right to self defense and [u]not[/u] an individual one.
