United Nations Security Council Resolution 1559, which calls for the dismantling of all independent militias in Lebanon was construed as the reason to allow Israel to bomb Lebanon. Can the UN compile a Resolution against US citizens forming militias? And if so does that justify the US being bombed by other countries? And will our Secretary of State and congress standby while they do?
what do you think the media would say to the other people in other nations, let alone passive americans about WHY american citizens are forming armed militias
Maybe that, the only way private citizens can protect their civil rights is through that venue. Since our congress both republican and democrat seem to support only corporate protection.
Resolution 1559 can say what ever it wants but you know dam well not one militia in Lebanon will follow the order nor can the goveremnt of Lebanon's military make them how week they are . Actually terrorist organizations and Militias are growing in southern Lebanon. The un says alot and passes alot of resolutions that are all bull shit, they are eather outright ignored like they were for years in Yugoslavia and other war zones around the world or just loopholed like the oil for food program in IRAQ. and trying to say this is the same as another country bombing the us is just ass a 9. Its like comparing apples to oranges !!!! please come up with a better comparison ?
I think Hizbollah basically told the UN to fuck right off. I mean why should the UN interfere with their natural born right to kill and kidnap Israeli citizens inside Israel? What kind of world are we living in where private armies can't attack neighbouring countries? And why shouldn't they work with Syrian intelligence agencies to assassinate democratically elected politicians in Lebanon? Basically if you say Hizbollah shouldn't attack neighboring countries and murder politicans you're saying you're a Bush loving neocon and you hate Islam.
also 99.9% of all militias in the US are nut case Neo Nazi skin heads who are praying for a race war or wacko servivalist who think the world is coming to a end every other week. I also can't forget Religious Cults like David Koreshs Branch Davidians who think there nut crazed leader is GOD's next messiah on earth.There you have it thats the majority of your militias hear in the US and I think the US goveremnt is more then capable on handaling them ?
Now THERE'S words of wisdom!! Dude, you really need to read up on your history and I don't mean reading old headlines of the LA/NY Times, or watching CNN and FOX. There's much that you won't learn from corporate news.
ExposeTheTruth- What history do we still have ?our local town militias running arounnd getting ready to face a Foreign Invader.or are the minutemen still around ready to fight against the British ? Please let me know what histiry you mean, There has not been a need for Militias in the U.S for over a hundred years now.
The constitution gives us the right: I see no protection for US citizens outlined in the resolution. I am a little sceptical about letting things like this ride, from the fear that it may be abused. We wouldn't necessarily be facing a foreign invader, we might just be protecting ourselves from domestic interests that seek to undermine our personal freedoms. Afterall during our revolution the British were not necessarily considered outside invaders. As colonies they were a domestic threat.
Please stop talking Shoc. You know absolutely nothing about how the world works. There are some militias who are neo-nazi's to be sure. Where you get the "99.9%" is beyond me. Do you have a source to back up that claim? Oh...you don't? That's doesn't surprise me. There are some PROGRESSIVES who advocate the forming of militias to fend off the dismantling of posse comatatus (the integration of domestic police with the military). You are not intellectually savvy enough to consider yourself an authoritative voice for ANY topic other than baseball cards and hard drugs. Please go to the entertainment sections of this site and leave the "current event" areas to those of us who have some grasp on the real world.
Wow, for once you're actually correct about something. Yeah...no need for over a hundred years now. How though, in ANY way, does that say we'll never need them again? Do you know what a "coup de tat" is? Well, that's exactly what is taking place in our country as we type away on our computers.
The coup is a gradual one. The coming elections could very well turn out to be the final stage. We'll find out I guess.
