Bull. One country is receiving a shipment of arms, and another violates another countries airspace to destroy said weapons, and the country receiving the weapons has more explaining to do? So the next time the Americans floats a shipload of weapons into Israel it is okay for another nations to take them out, and its Israel who has some explaining to do?

The US and North Korea are not in a state of war BTW. Syria and Israel officially are. Also I dont know how setting off a nuke compares to Isreal stopping Syria from bringing weapons to Hezbolla. In fact, they are not comparable situations at all....

Actually, North Korea and the United States are "technically" still in a state of war. The only thing maintaining the peace between those nations is an armistise. North and South Korea have actually been hoping to find a peace treaty to replace the armistise. The only hold up, is the United States' involvement in matters.

I do agree with you on one point though... the UN is pretty useless.

Primarily because of the actions of one nation, and it's puppet state, but why point fingers?

Yes LAnny we get the point. You don't like the US or Israel.

No, I love the United States. It is my home. It is my country (one of the two anyways). I do my part to defend this nation on a daily basis, so that gives me the priviledge to use my first ammendment right. The foreign policy of this nation has been hijacked, and it impacts the rest of the world, especially the nations being discussed. That puts the subject matter front and center, whether it you can compute that or not.

I'm not really sure how you turning this into some rant about the US's foreign policy really adds anything to this conversation.

Because some "mouth breather" had the audacity to excuse Israel for its military act of terror.

IN fact, why don't we just stop discussing the actual event in discussion and just rant about how the US's foreign policy is destroying the world. How many threads where people have been trying to have intelligent conversations have you destroyed with this tired babble?

This subject matter is well beyond your intellect. You seem to fail to understand the far reaching effect of American foreign policy, and how the support the US provides to Israel maintains an imbalance in the region. If you can't defend or attack a point properly, then do like the right's hero, Bill O'Reilly, tells everyone, and shut up.
