Its been around for a while. Remember people yelling about "black helicopters"? The helicopters were operated by the UN.

The black helicopters most people talk about are operated by the DEA.

Most of that post disturbed me, but my jaw dropped when I saw this one. You really think it's time to try to spark a full on Middle East war right now?

War?....LOL
They don't have the balls to go to war with the USA.
They are good at rattling sabres and mouthing off but that is about it. People like Jimmy Carter, Kerry, and most democrats wet their pants everytime Iran makes a threat but fortunately we do have a few people with balls in the USA.... No need to invade Iran or Syria. Bomb the Persian oil fields and the Iranian war machine collapses. As for Syria, one spit-wad will knock them out... And as a side benefit Hezbolah and Shia insurgents lose their sugar-daddy.

Maybe you forget but the USA took care of Imperial Japan and Nazi-Germany quite nicely. A couple of second rate dictators will be easy to handle..

Phase 1: Declare war. Phase 2: ????. Phase 3: Revel in global democracy.

Let's just nuke the world. That'll give Americans lots of room to stretch our legs, without all those lesser peoples taking up space.

The Us will not leave the UN.
Instead it will use it when it serves there purpose and ignore it when it doesnt.

ie ignore it 100% of the time, but still fund it? It will never be beneficial to an important US purpose in your lifetime, much less mine.

It is clearly to the interest of the United States to continue to be a member of the United Nations, generally speaking (some changes in the set-up might be needed in order to better serve American interests and aspirations). Which is why, in the real world, by the way, the United States continues to hold steadfastly onto their role in the U.N.

Anyone who argues for bolting out simply does not see things clearly. And if it's a conservative who argues for that, then the matter gets somewhat amusing.

I guess this is going well.

I was not aware that the entire world is trying to kill American soldiers. We do know that Iran and Syria are providing money, weapons, and agents to kill American soldiers. Hence the justification to retaliate agianst Iran and Syria....

Self defense is not a vice...
Self defense is not arrogance...
Syria and Iran provide aid to insurgents and terrorists who are killing American soldiers. Appeasment to dictators does not have a very good track record. Any military retaliation against Iran and Syria is more than justified... The large appeasement crowd in the USA gives them the confidence than can engage the USA in clandestine warfare without any consequences. I think it is time to puncture their over confidence with the smell of the burning Persian oil fields...
