The United Nations Participation Act was passed by the US Congress and signed off by Harry S. Truman on the 20th of December 1945. Laws which are passed by the Congress are the Law in the United States. The United Nations Participation Act is part of US Federal Law.
You are wrong, it is in no way connected to U.S. laws, it merely means we are supposed to send them x amount of money to belong to a feel good society.Quote:

One of these days we may get a congress with enough balls to quit. The U.S. populace would be very happy to quit flushing money down that toilet.
Rollo, my hat is off to you for trying really, really really hard, and sometimes you come close, real close, but darling clementine, once again "no cigar" as ole Groucho would say.
You missed the boat.
Perhaps you should actually carefully read what you find, very very closely.
Congress has passed a number of laws that have been struck down as unconstitutional.
Second, the so-called "act" does not say what you want it to say.
I will put more detail in the other thread.
Has the United Nations Participation Act been "struck down as unconstitutional"?Quote:

Libya, just a few weeks and suddenly half the world is involved. Stinks.
A bad smell indeed, but apparently the reason for the inaction over Mugabe is that, unlike the Arab League in Libya's case, African states have not reached an agreement/consensus to take action against him and therefore the international community will not intervene.Quote:

Just for yucks and giggles I decided to Google a mediocre western state's military preparednessQuote:

Yes this whole deal stinksQuote:
According to The Guardian, Annan allegedly made an extraordinary offer to Mugabe at the millennium summit of world leaders in New York.
The memo, written in September 2000, records a meeting between a US embassy official in Harare and a senior source in the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), the party opposed to Mugabe's Zanu-PF.
The cable reveals that Zanu-PF itself had put out "feelers" to see whether the MDC would be willing to allow Mugabe a "graceful exit" that was "in Zimbabwe's national interest".

One of our F-15E Strike Eagle's went down. One pilot rescued by rebels and returned to US forces, and the second pilot is still missing!
