United Nations dissing US?

I got this off Yahoo news site: Just hours after a series of explosions in London, the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Thursday to condemn the terrorist attacks and vowed to bring those responsible to justice. Secretary-General Kofi Annan echoed that sentiment, "These vicious acts have cut us all to the core, for they are an attack on humanity itself," Annan said in a statement. "Today, the world stands shoulder to shoulder with the British people." The council expressed sympathy for the victims of the four blasts that rocked London earlier Thursday. Police said at least 37 people were killed in the explosions and hundreds injured. Now after reading that it gets me thinking.. 4 bombs that killed 37 people and injured hundreds is an attack against humanity itself, but 4 planes that destroyed 3 buildings and killed THOUSANDS were an attack on AMerican people? They vowed to bring those responsible to justice, why didn't they do the same thing for us? How come UN is not helping us looking for Bin Ladin? Where was the world when the AMericans needed someone to stand shoulder to shoulder with? [Edited on 7/7/2005]

  • Yes and the UN is the rest of the world so what does that tell you. [url=http://www.un.org/apps/news/infocusRel1.asp?infocusID=16&Body=Afgh anistan] UN in Afghanistan [/url] Deadly Monk yes you produced many things for the allies during WWII but you didn't do it for free. I know i'am gonna get blacklisted for this but it has to be said: The way most of the world see it is you give Bin Ladin and Saddam the weapons and now you want us to help you get them back. You trained them to fight the Russians and now they fight US and British troops in Afghanistan. [Edited on 7/7/2005]

The U.N uses us because they know the U.S will do the right thing but then they turn right around and accuse us of crap that has either nothing to do with it or bounce things out of proportion. And to the quote above I say this nobody cares about us except the 1. British 2.Australia 3. and Spain a little bit 4. and Isreal( those are the ones off the top of my head) and everyone wants the U.S to go down in flames and tatters. Reasons for this are 1. In WWII look how we helped and massed produced for all the alies 2. The Gulf War alot of those troops were U.S Basically we have too much potiential to take out everyone (basicaly everyone is scared of us for no reason) [Edited on 7/7/2005]

  • They arent helping because they are against the war on terror, and we didnt sign the thing to stop global warming. The UN doesnt like us.

  • There's one person to blame but I souldn't mention his name, but it sounds like Push! I keep saying, these people can't be reasoned with, the Japanese, who are civilized, especially in contrast with these sand snakes, and they were horribly punished for a surprise attack that pretty much involved soldiers.. Now we have a few thousand people dead, in two buildings, bombings all over the world and one president who thinks his job is to bring peace to a place that didn't ask for it.. Arguing about this subject in here is just as pointless as voting here in florida..

  • What do you mean the UN aren't helping us look for Bin Ladin there's more than one nationality policing Afganastan and Iraq and after the 9/11 attacks the UN introduced an unbelievable amount of security procedures to combat terrorism. Kofi Annan issued the exact same sentements when the 9/11 attacks occured. Research more than one article before you post rubbish like this. Remove this thread.

(But) When did Kofi Annan say that the attacks of 9/11 were [i]"just an attack on american people."[/i] The word [i]"just"[/i] seems out of place. I also feel that any loss of innocent life, be it one child or a thousand men [i]to me[/i] is equal in comparison. No one deserves to leave like that... -8e8 [Edited on 7/7/2005]
