re: #189 ggt

Strange poll —no?

If one’s country is directly attacked and in imminent danger of being attacked again, one has to ask permission of the UN to defend it?

Not strange. Half of America thinks we can be the world honey badger. IOW, we’d still likely invade Iraq all over again. ;) 50/50 so it’s not really a complete majority. Sure, people can question the UN. But there’s a great deal of that good old fashioned American arrogance or hubris at play here. Call it a Palinist view of the world if you will. More like the Bush-doctrine. Would it make sense sometimes? Sure it would.
