The supremely critical and high quality political thinking in this
group has led me to the question of whether the U.S. should be abolished as a nation-state and be taken over by some world body such as that perennially wise and August body--the U.N. Perhaps the World Worker's Party or the World Communist Revolutionary Party could do the heavy lifting. If ever there was a demonic rogue presence on the face of this world, it is the United States. The world would clearly be better off without its 230 year existence. Ward Churchill agrees. Your thoughts? Interious |

Who would then act as policeman to all the rogue nations that would result from the liberation of the 50 states? Some of them might even start using the metric system, or if that's too radical for them, start publishing cooking recipes with dry ingredient measures by weight, instead of the "cup".

I vote instead of abolishing the country, the administration be brought to
international tribunal court. That way, each side has a chance to defend their standing, without being on their own soil. Somehow I have visions of Bush behaving like Milosevik, claiming that no jurisdiction rests with the court, and thus wouldn't defend himself. It'd be nice for a change to have someone decide whether or not Bush was "relevant". |

If it were abolished, what entity (with any power whatsoever) would enforce
it? Besides, what would terrorists do with their lives? Blow themselves up in a deserted area?

Pan Ohco > wrote in
: > http://www.crisismagazine.com/april2002/cover.htm You're referring to an article that covers a small portion of the relations, one that was particularly frought with turmoil. I may have missed it, but I saw no mention of contributions in knowledge, founding of universities and centres of learning in which Christians were welcomed. I refer specifically to the university of Granada which was the model for some of the older Spanish universities, Salamanca, Alcala de Henares, and the Université de Paris which was the model for all the other universities in Europe. I also saw only reference to Islamic agression but none to their pacification and social improvements (over the previous conditions of course, you can't make a silk purse...) in the areas they did occupy (something the US government claims it is doing now in Iraq, I might point out). The history of the spread of Islam is well documented and I might add that I am conversant with that period in history, but what is less documented are the improvements they brought with them: better sanitation, science (including cutting-edge medicine and astronomy which allowed farther reaching travel [check out the life of Ibn Batuta]), and yes, even the survival of Greek theatre for which we are all forever in their debt. The European response was to take to arms and seek to eradicate a much superior civilisation on the grounds that they couldn't accept Muhammad. Islam accepts Christianity as part of its tradition. That is a fundamental tenet of Islam in fact. And, what is less known also and not mentioned here in this Xtian (yes, I noted the header of the page) apologia for barbaric behaviour, is that most Christians in the areas under Islamic rule were converting voluntarily to Islam. That was the true threat of Islam in the Middle Ages, its power to turn Christians into what their former religious leaders qualified as "heretics". A more modern case, by way of illustration of the power of Islam, is that of the Islamic community of India. There the untouchables, the lowest and most reviled caste, realized that Islam accepted them as equals, which Hinduism did not. So there were massive conversions on a scale that would make Jerry Falwell envious. When it came time to pay the piper, Christians in Europe balked. In conclusion, I'll quote the following (note the ***): "Medieval Spain was one of the most tolerant lands in medieval Europe, a place where Christians, Jews, and Moslems lived in harmony. ***That had been the policy of the Moslems when they ruled Spain***; the Christians continued it. By the 15th century, however, intolerance grew, evidenced by mob violence and persecution laws. In 1492, Castile passed a law requiring Jews to become Christians or go into exile. Spaniards increasingly saw Moslems as a problem. The Moslems rebelled against religious intolerance and were ordered to convert to Christianity or leave. Too many Spaniards were beginning to believe that loyalty to the monarch and to Spain required that everyone believe the same." http://historicaltextarchive.com/sec...article&artid= 321 So put that in your pipe and smoke it! -- "The problem with the French is they have no word for entrepreneur." attributed to George W.

All I can say is TRY IT!!!
While not ALL of our military endeavours have been totally HONORABLE... the ones that counted WERE. Japan Germany USSR Afganistan Iraq An industrial machine that can out produce ANYTHING. A finacial arm that can outright PURCHASE many small - medium sized countries. Then there's John Q. American... we also have one of the (if not THE) most armed citizenry. So go ahead, belly up to the bar and start your petty little insurgency. We'll happy to SQUASH you like the little bug that you are. Peace!

The United States, as we KNEW it, IS being abolished. Slightly less
than half the voting public seems to be for it. |

But if what you will do has a direct impact on the quality of life and the political and economic stability of other sovereign nations, then you no longer have the right to act unilaterally without expecting any criticism levelled at your actions. That is what the UN was created to allow, a debate in a neutral area. You and I cannot resolve this because you are dead set against accepting criticism and I believe it is the only way you will grow up and join the community of nations. But the United Nations, created at the behest of the United States among other founding nations for this very purpose, is the proper forum to debate these matters and resolve them with the greatest (not wealthiest) good in mind. -- "The problem with the French is they have no word for entrepreneur." attributed to George W.

Really? Can you substantiate that with non-Catholic sources? Something that hasn't been vetted by Cardinal Ratzinger would be a good start. > And I see that your still using a tag line that you know is > untruth. > > I think that anyone reading the history of the crusades at the > above URL can understand. However, it was not a history, just a personal note on a topic for which the author has a clear bias in favour of Christianity. Have you ever read a Muslim history of the Crusades to balance your point of view? Of course you haven't. -- "The problem with the French is they have no word for entrepreneur." attributed to George W. Bush by Tony Blair via Baroness Williams |
